Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 22nd International Conference on Virus and Other Graft Transmissible Diseases of Fruit Crops that will be held at the CRA- Plant Pathology Research Centre in Rome, Italy, 3-8 June 2012. The meeting is organized within the International Council on Virus and Other Graft Transmissible Diseases of Fruit Crops (ICVF)  and it shall provide an overview of the ongoing research and activities on viruses, viroids and phytoplasmas affecting fruit tree and small fruit crops.

Conference will host oral, poster and invited lectures and a round-table discussion focussed on diagnostics. The abstracts will be evaluated and revised by the ICVF scientific committee and published in a special issue of the journal Petria.

We look forward to welcoming you again in Rome,
