Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Wisc-e-sota Symposium is vital for the facilitation and dissemination of ongoing virus biology research, including fostering collaboration in advancing research on the biology of viruses from detailed molecular and structural studies to disease pathogenesis investigations, as well as to population-based studies of virus spread. This Special Issue will summarize the presentations at the 13th Wisc-e-sota Symposium, which took place in La Crosse, Wisconsin, on September 25-26, 2025. The meeting covered many topics, including the following:
- HIV and retrovirus replication;
- Adeno-associated virus replication and host interactions;
- EBV–host interactions and pathogenesis;
- Pichinde virus replication and vaccine platforms;
- RNA virus structure and pathogenesis;
- PRRSV epidemiology.
