Join us in March 2025 for the XXIII conference of the International Organization of Citrus Virologists.
The IOCV is the one organization dedicated to the study and control of ALL DISEASES OF CITRUS. There is a focus on virus and virus-like pathogens, but abstracts will be considered on all citrus diseases and related topics.
Please join us in Australia for our first in-person event since 2019.
There are direct flights between Mildura and Melbourne in the state of Victoria (flight time 70 minutes) and between Sydney (in New South Wales) and Mildura (flight time 135 minutes).
Mildura is a regional city located on the Murray River in the north-western corner of Victoria. The original inhabitants of the Mildura region included the Latjilatji and Jarijari Aboriginal tribes. The first Europeans arrived in the area in 1857 and it was transformed into an irrigation settlement in the late 1800’s by the Chaffey brothers from Canada.
Mildura remains surrounded by irrigated horticulture and is the largest city in the Murray Valley (also known as Sunraysia), one of the largest citrus growing regions in Australia.
