The International Society for NeuroVirology is a non-profit corporation established in 1998 as an international forum for researchers and clinician scientists involved in the study of neurovirology. The purpose of the Society is to advance collaboration among scientists in all aspects of neurovirology and related disciplines in order to further knowledge in the area, and promote the clinical application of this knowledge to prevent and treat neuroinflammation and pathophysiology of viral encephalitides. The Society will achieve these goals primarily through the organization and sponsorship of international meetings and through its official bi-monthly publication, the Journal of NeuroVirology.
