Q&A Panel Discussion
How do different classification systems impact our understanding of virus evolution and disease emergence?
Do current classification systems capture sufficient genetic variation and associated phenotypic impact to support prediction of future disease outcomes?
Are there emerging classification approaches that hold promise for improved prediction, control and response to virus disease?
