The Plant Virus Epidemiology Committee of the International Society of Plant Pathology (ISPP) was started as an initiative of Prof. Mike Thresh (NRI,University of Greenwich, UK) at the Third ISPP Congress held in Munich, Germany in 1978, when he was one of the UK representatives on ISPP Council. This led to the first Plant Virus Epidemiology Symposium at Oxford,UK in 1981 with financial support from the Association of Applied Biologists and the Federation of British Plant Pathologists (now the British Society of Plant Pathology). The subsequent 1983 Proceedings volume edited by R.T.Plumb and J.M. Thresh was published by Blackwell Scientific on behalf of FBPP.

The ISPP was founded during the first Congress in London in 1968 to promote the development of Plant Pathology worldwide. The Society coordinates the series of quinquennial International Congresses and supports the activities of IPEV and other specialist subject committees
