16^th International Virology Summit

Neurovirology is an interdisciplinary field that represents a melding of clinical studies on the molecular biology and pathogenesis of viral infections of the nervous system, and it also deals with the development of novel treatment strategies using neurotropic viral vectors. The involvement of the brain is one of the most significant consequences of a viral infection. Many viruses have the capability to invade and replicate in brain tissue, but fortunately, serious brain infections are rare. Clinically, neurological diseases caused by virus families can be divided into acute and chronic syndromes.
