The Gesellschaft für Virologie eV (GfV; Society for Virology) is a specialist society for all virological specialist areas in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, based in Erlangen in Germany.[1]
The GfV is a member of the AWMF, an umbrella organisation of more than 150 German medical societies,[2] and the DNB.[3]
It was founded in 1990 after leading virologists no longer saw their interests and the tasks of the subject of virology represented in the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM).[4] The focus was originally on basic virological research, virus genetics and molecular virology; later it also represented medical virology, virological infectiology, immunology and plant virology on an equal footing at annual conferences. It is now the largest virological specialist society in Europe.[5]
