HYDERABAD: The International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the Indian Virological Society (IVS) are conducting an international symposium on management of vector-borne viruses during February 7-10.

The meeting, to be held at the ICRISAT campus, would review the recent advances in virology and deliberate on viral disease control and diagnosis, using bio-techniques. About 200 virologists from around the world are expected to take part.

The semi-arid tropics, which cover 20 million sq km, is also home to nearly one billion people, mostly in India and Africa. It is also home to major viruses and other pathogens, which create havoc to the health of humans, animals and plants.
