The central theme of VoM 2022 is “the latest conquests on viruses of microbes”. The meeting intends to spotlight the most recent advances in ecology and evolution of microbial viruses, virus structures and function, virus-host interaction, agro-food, veterinary and environmental biotechnology applications and phage therapy.

The meeting is organized into the following topics:

• Ecology and evolution of microbial viruses
• Virus structures and function
• Virus-host interaction: overcoming cell barriers
• Virus-host interaction: molecular mechanisms
• Virus-host interaction: host defence and viral evasion mechanisms
• Agro-food, veterinary and environmental biotechnology applications
• Biotechnology applications in health care
• Current state and latest developments of phage therapy

PHAGE Therapy, Applications, and Research is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to bacteriophage research and its applications in medicine, agriculture, aquaculture, veterinary applications, animal production, food safety, and food production.
