About the ICAR2024 Program In-person and virtual programming options will be available for ICAR2024 .

The oral sessions will be recorded and available to all registered attendees on the virtual platform for on-demand viewing.

Abstract Details
We welcome short oral presentations and posters describing the activity of well-defined chemical compounds for the treatment of viral diseases of humans and vertebrate animals and on the protective activity of vaccines for humans. Reports of the antiviral effect of a novel small-molecule drug are encouraged to include chemical structures, as long as such reporting does not negatively impact the potential development of novel antivirals. Claims of in vitro or in vivo efficacy of a drug or vaccine must be supported by appropriate statistical analysis. We discourage the submission of abstracts reporting the antiviral activity of unpurified natural products, or of partially purified substances. Abstracts claiming an antiviral effect of homeopathic products or other highly diluted preparations, or which fail to clearly identify the biological ingredient or molecule responsible for the antiviral activity of an experimental therapy, will be rejected. Presentations on antiseptics with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity will not be considered. We also discourage talks or posters on silicodocking studies or other computer-based predictions of antiviral activity that are not supported by data from biological assays.
