The World Microbe Forum 2021 (June 20-24, online; an ASM and FEMS collaboration) this year will include a session on viruses of microbes convened by Madalena Pimental and Rob Lavigne, on behalf of the Viruses of Microbes 2020 team and ISVM, the International Society for Viruses of Microorganisms (become a member for free here: http://isvm.org).

The session will be on June 23, and is entitled 'What’s New in the World of Viruses of Microbes?' This symposium focuses on recent advances in the fundamental biology and utility of the viruses of microorganisms, archaeal viruses, bacteriophages (or phages, the viruses of bacteria) and the viruses of microbial eukaryotes. This session provides the opportunity for young researchers to present their work.
