The largest single life science society, composed of over 47,000 scientists and health professionals. Their mission is to promote and advance the microbial sciences.

Promotes exchange of information and stimulates discussion and collaboration among virologists.

Members have contributed not only to the development of parasitology as a discipline, but also to primary research in systematics, medicine, molecular biology, immunology, physiology, ecology, biochemistry, behavior, and more.

Promotes and stimulate the exchange of information and collaboration among individual scientists as well as among national and international associations of Virology throughout Europe.

One of the 31 Scientific Unions of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). A non-governmental organisation with a global membership of national scientific bodies (120 Members, representing 140 countries) and International Scientific Unions (31 Members).

A membership organisation for scientists who work in all areas of microbiology. It is the largest learned microbiological society in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools.

A scientific society dedicated to advancing the science of mycology - the study of fungi of all kinds including mushrooms, molds, truffles, yeasts, lichens, plant pathogens, and medically important fungi. They aim to promote and advance the science of mycology and to foster and encourage research and education in mycology in all its aspects.

A non-profit organization of professional and amateur mycologists with over 80 affiliated mycological societies in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Committed and dedicated to the promotion of scientific and educational activities related to fungi. Supports the protection of natural areas and their biological integrity. Advocates the sustainable use of mushrooms as a resource and endorse the responsible mushroom collecting that does not harm the fungi or their habitats.

Works to foster the development of new techniques for rapid viral diagnosis, to improve quality control for reagents, to sponsor training programs, scientific meetings and symposia, to disseminate relevant information, to coordinate activities with other organizations, and to encourage collaborative research.

A nonprofit, international association dedicated to the advancement of microbiological sciences, especially as they apply to industrial products, biotechnology, materials, and processes. Founded in 1949, they promote the exchange of scientific information through its meetings and publications, and serves as liaison among the specialized fields of microbiology. Membership in the Society is extended to all scientists and companies in the general field of microbiology.
