Meet Us at the 2025 XXV International Poxvirus, Asfarvirus, and Iridovirus Conference, 18–23 May 2024, San Antonio, Texas, USA


We look forward to meeting you at the 2025 XXV International Poxvirus, Asfarvirus, and Iridovirus Conference, which will be held from 18 to 23 May 2025.

Poxvirus, Asfarvirus, and Iridovirus families possess large double-stranded DNA genomes and replicate in the cytoplasm. Some members of these families cause serious diseases in humans and economically important animals, including zoonoses. The 2025 XXV International Poxvirus, Asfarvirus, and Iridovirus Conference will bring together researchers to discuss the latest advancements and breakthroughs in Poxviruses, Asfarviruses, and Iridoviruses. The topics covered in this context include virus entry, genome replication and gene expression, trafficking, genomics/transcriptomics/proteomics, morphogenesis and assembly, exit, virus–host interactions, immunity, immune evasion, pathogenesis, vaccines, antivirals, diagnostics, virus vectors, oncolytic virotherapy, and emerging and re-emerging viruses.

We invite you to participate in this congress. More information can be found at the following link:

Over 100 German Universities Partner with MDPI in New National Agreement


More than 100 German universities and research institutions have entered into a national agreement with MDPI. The publication agreement negotiated by ZB MED comes into effect on 1 January 2025 and is valid until the end of 2026. Joining the consortium is still possible until the beginning of 2025. We are delighted by the high level of interest this agreement has already garnered, reflecting the strong demand for accessible and cost-effective open access publishing solutions among German research institutions.

This new cooperation aims to make scientific gold open access publishing more affordable and less administratively burdensome for researchers in Germany. The agreement includes substantial discounts on article processing charges (APCs) for corresponding authors from participating institutions. It offers flexible payment options, including centralized invoicing or individual payment of fees by researchers or their institutions. Additionally, the agreement features a flat-fee model that enables institutions to precisely plan expenses and optimize their library budgets.

"MDPI can look back on over a decade of successful partnerships with German research institutions," says Peter Roth, MDPI Head of Publishing. "The new agreement marks another milestone in the long-standing co-operation between MDPI and the German scientific community. It emphasizes our commitment to developing up-to-date and inventive solutions for the diverse needs of scientific institutions to promote open research for the benefit of researchers."

Petra Labriga, Head of Strategic License Management at ZB MED, highlighted the agreement's significance: "As one of the world's leading Gold OA publishers, MDPI plays a central role in the German publishing landscape. We are particularly pleased that we were able to achieve considerable potential cost savings for scientific institutions and their authors at a national level through our negotiations."

The partnership reflects a common goal of advancing the idea of open access and supporting researchers in making their scientific excellence internationally visible.

"We would like to thank the ZB MED consortium team for their excellent collaboration," added Adrian Stefan Zamfir, MDPI Institutional Partnership Manager for the DACH region. "We are delighted that this agreement will give even more researchers in Germany access to our tried-and-tested and reliable publication platform."

Article Layout and Template Revised for Future Volumes

We are pleased to announce a series of updates to our template, aimed at improving the readability and overall aesthetics of our publications. These changes have been meticulously designed to enhance the user experience and ensure consistency across all our publications. The updated template will be available for download from the Instructions for Authors page.

The following updates will be applied to articles published in the 2025 volumes, starting on 24 December 2024:

  • Main text: The line spacing has been increased to improve the readability of publications;
  • Header and footer: The link to the journal website will be removed, as a hyperlink has been integrated into the journal logo. Additionally, the DOI link will be moved from the left-hand side to the right-hand side, and both the header and footer will be slightly raised to achieve a better balance;
  • Left information bar: The information provided here has been rearranged for better organization; the CC-BY logo will be removed;
  • Font size: The font size used for the abstract, keywords, and first-level headings will be increased.

Furthermore, MDPI journals will continue to use article numbers. This approach enables us to maintain a rapid and efficient production process by being able to define pagination as soon as a paper is accepted.

We hope that the new version of the template will provide users with a better experience and make the process more convenient.

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions or suggestions.

Viruses | Global Virus Network (GVN) Hosts Successful Series of Webinars

We are thrilled to announce a successful series of webinars organized by a Viruses-affiliated society—the Global Virus Network (GVN). The Global Virus Network is an essential and critical defense against viral disease. It is a coalition comprised of leading virologists around the world working to advance knowledge about how viruses cause us to be ill and to develop drugs and vaccines to lower the likelihood and severity of illness, as well as to prevent death.

On 26 November 2024, the GVN collaborated with Dr. Tony Schountz to present a webinar titled “Jamaican Fruit Bats as an Experimental Model for Virology and Immunology”. Dr. Tony Schountz, Ph.D., is a professor at the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, at Colorado State University, USA. He is an accomplished virologist and immunologist with expertise in the study of virus–host interactions in reservoir species.

Following the mentioned collaboration, on 10 December 2024, the GVN welcomed Dr. Esteban Domingo for a fascinating exploration of SARS-CoV-2 genomes. The webinar, titled “Quasispecies and error catastrophe: the “be or not to be” of SARS-CoV-2 genomes”, delved into the complexity and variability of SARS-CoV-2 genomes, providing valuable knowledge and insights to the attendees. Keep an eye on their webpage for their next webinars!

Viruses (ISSN: 1999-4915) would like to congratulate the Global Virus Network for the success of their webinars and their great impact on as well as contribution to science. Viruses also cooperates with other societies, such as the American Society for Virology (ASV), the Spanish Society for Virology (SEV), the Canadian Society for Virology (CSV), the Italian Society for Virology (SIV-ISV), the Australasian Virology Society (AVS), and others affiliated with Viruses.
