IS3DV-2025
International Symposium on Single Stranded DNA Viruses
Dear colleagues
“For practical concerns and to the benefit of the IS3DV series, we have opted to postpone the next IS3DV edition to 2026 in Brazil. Communication on this IS3DV-2026 will come very soon”
Date: From June 8 to June 13, 2025
Venue: Meliá Internacional, Varadero, Cuba
Organized by: Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
We are delighted to invite scientists, students, and colleagues with an interest in Virology to participate in the upcoming International Symposium on Single-Stranded DNA Viruses (IS3DV), which will take place at the Varadero Resort, Cuba, from June 8 to 13, 2025.
The primary objective of this symposium is to foster the exchange of ideas and expertise on ssDNA viruses across diverse host organisms, while promoting collaborations that can drive innovative approaches and advance our understanding of these fascinating viruses.
Over the course of the five-day symposium, attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and engage with leading experts from the global academic and research community. This event promises to be an enriching experience, combining stimulating scientific discussions with the unique charm of Varadero’s coastal environment, offering inspiration, excitement and relaxation all together.

The organizing committee together with the International Scientific Committee will direct the scientific program of the symposium to the following topics:
- Genome replication and gene expression
- Structure, assembly and packaging
- Defense, counter-defense and pathogenicity
