Abstract
The 30th meeting of the Brazilian Society for Virology (SBV) was held, for the first time in its 30 years of existence, in Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso State, Central Western Brazil, a tropical region between the three richest biomes in the world: Amazon Florest, Cerrado and Pantanal. In recent years, the field of virology has been built in the State. The aim of this report is to support participants and virologists to receive the most up-to-date information about the meeting, which occurred from 16 to 19 October 2019. National and international speakers gave SBV the opportunity to learn about their experience on their virology fields, sharing recent scientific findings, compiling conferences, round table presentations and work presentations in oral and poster sessions. The meeting held over 300 attendants, who were also involved on oral and poster presentations, showing a great variety of recent unpublished studies on environmental, basic, animal, human, plant and invertebrate virology. In addition, SBV offered the Helio Gelli Pereira award for the best research studies in each field presented during the meeting. The 30th meeting of SBV was very productive and has also encouraged scientific partnership and collaboration among virologists worldwide.
Highlights
Virology is a biological research field characterized by rapid advances of concepts, paradigms and understanding of virus biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, evolution, therapy and control
In 1978, the most prominent Brazilian virologists at the time met in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State to discuss the creation of the Society and the Virology Meeting
Since 2001, the meeting was held in different cities every year, including those located in the States of Alagoas (AL), Bahia (BA), Ceará (CE), Distrito Federal (DF), Goiás (GO), Minas Gerais (MG), Pará (PA), Paraná (PR), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Santa Catarina (SC) and
Summary
Virology is a biological research field characterized by rapid advances of concepts, paradigms and understanding of virus biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, evolution, therapy and control. The 30th Brazilian Society for Virology Meeting shared advanced knowledge on important viruses for public health, such as Hepatitis C, Zika, Chikungunya, West Nile and other arboviruses, HIV, HPV, Influenza, oncolytic viruses and those linked to veterinary and agricultural viral diseases. This vast virology approach was explored in order to expand the One Health concept of a global tendency linking human, animal and plant health. Virology groups in the State are proportionally few and recent, with low inclusion in graduate courses, research and diagnosis This scientific area has provided in-depth exploration of the full potential of biodiversity observed in the three biomes located at Mato Grosso. The fulfillment of an event of this size in the region allowed local researchers and students of diverse areas within virology to present their skills and form bonds with renowned institutions of other geographic regions so that they can increase and strengthen research in virology fields
