Abstract
In February of this year, virologists from around the world gathered at the University of Costa Rica in San Jose to participate in an EMBO World Lecture Course entitled ‘Virus–Host: Partners in Pathogenicity’ organized by Cecilia Ramirez from the Institut Cochin in Paris. The EMBO World Lecture Course format enabled a number of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows from diverse nationalities to attend and participate actively in scientific presentations and discussion. The conference covered a range of topics that related to the broad field of virus–host interactions. These topics included virus entry and receptors, gene expression, virus maturation, assembly and release, host defenses, plant virus movement and suppression of RNA silencing, the discovery of new viruses, and emerging and re-emerging viruses as important human pathogens. Numerous examples of virus–host interactions, in both animal and plant virus systems, were highlighted during the conference.
