Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you all, in the name of SOVE and Hacettepe University, to participate in 5th International SOVE Congress which will be held in Antalya, Turkey, from 11th to the 16th of October 2009.
As the organizing committee we are determined to provide an event that combines a high powered and diverse scientific experience with the pleasures afforded by the cultural and historical richies of this delighful corner of the Mediterranean.
SOVE has a history of ground breaking conference in the fields of vector ecology. We are hoping this year to attract even more participants and presentations of the highest quality. The Belek district of Antalya where the congress will be housed is within easy rich of Antalya airport nestling between forest land and the sea.
We hope to make the most of this wonderful setting with excursions to sites of historically interest like Demre, the ancient city of Myria and its nearby sunken city.
We look forward to welcoming you to Antalya, Turkey.
