On behalf of the American Society for Rickettsiology (ASR), it is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to attend the 34th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Rickettsiology.  This year’s meeting will be held at the Renaissance Asheville hotel in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. The Renaissance Asheville is expertly located in the heart of downtown Asheville, with plenty of greenscapes and sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains - the perfect backdrop as you explore North Carolina's best kept secret. This downtown location means you can walk to multiple restaurants and breweries or take a short ride to the Biltmore Estate. Staying on property guarantees after-hours networking opportunities and includes easy access to downtown Asheville restaurants, shops, and entertainment during your stay.  This setting provides the perfect backdrop for our meeting attendees who wish to learn about new areas of research, share their groundbreaking work, and establish interdisciplinary collaborations.  

Our meeting brings together an array of basic scientists, clinician scientists, and ­­­­epidemiologists from academic, government, and industry sectors who work together to address fundamental questions in rickettsial pathogenesis to improve diagnostics and therapeutics. The 2025 ASR Meeting will focus on emerging approaches and concepts in the relationship between rickettsial bacteria and both their vertebrate and arthropod hosts. The Scientific Program Committee has put together an exciting schedule of events, including plenary and keynote lectures from leading experts in and out of the rickettsia field. This was a widely popular approach in recent meetings, and we are excited to offer a program where basic scientists work side-by-side with translational researchers to confront significant problems in the field of rickettsial diseases.
