The Arbo-Zoonet Annual Conference 2011 was held in St-Raphaël, France on October 5, 2011, following the 6th European Meeting on Viral Zoonoses, October 1-4, 2011 (www.euroviralzoon.com).
The meeting started on Wednesday morning 5th and ended the same day in the evening after a poster session for the "Young Arbo-Zoonet". The purpose of this meeting was to review the activities carried out on Rift Valley fever virus, West Nile virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and related viruses. The meeting was devoted to presentations and discussions on presentations by the participants of Arbo-zoonet. Other colleagues showing interest to attend the meeting were invited to participate.
An important further aspect was to inaugurate and promote the activities of 'Young Arbo-Zoonet' by offering poster presentation and a 'senior scientist free' cocktail meeting to support networking and discussion among the young scientists in the arboviral research field. The best poster presented during the meeting was awarded with a book after all sessions ended.
