The Food and Environmental Virology session will look at how pathogenic viruses are transmitted through the environment (air, soil, water, etc.) and foods. This comprises epidemiological investigations, the discovery of novel and emerging infections, analytical or characterization methods, survival and elimination studies, and the establishment of industrial process procedural controls, such as HACCP protocols. The session will cover research on human, animal, and plant pathogenic viruses that can be transmitted through the environment or food.
