The South Wilts Virus Group (SWVG) is a forum for virologists in the
Wiltshire/Surrey/Berkshire/Oxfordshire region. It was started in 1952 at the Common
Cold Unit (CCU) at Harnham Down near Salisbury (hence the name South Wilts Virus Group) as an informal
gathering of scientists in the area to discuss virological topics. After the closure of
the CCU in 1990, the group ceased to meet for some years but it was revived in 1995 at a meeting in
CAMR, Porton Down, Wiltshire. Since then a regular programme of
meetings has been in place.
The SWVG has not met since
2007, but we are restarting the group as joint meetings between IAH,
VLA and Porton Down (DSTL/HPA). These are evening meetings
consisting of several short, informal talks and the opportunity to
have a drink and chat with staff from the other sites. There will be
three meetings each year rotating between IAH, VLA, HPA, DSTL, CEH
and the Imperial College Influenza Group.
