We would like to welcome everyone to attend the 16th Australasian Plant Virology Workshop (APVW) in Scarborough, WA from 27-29 October 2026.

​

The workshop series provides a forum for scientists from Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world to meet and provide updates on their recent research relating to plant viruses, viroids, phytoplasmas and other obligate pathogens. The program will feature an exciting range of themes, from plant-virus interactions and ecology to new tools and technologies as well as presentations on biosecurity in plant virology.
