Dear Pieter,
Greetings from Infolep!
Below you will find a selection of recent publications on leprosy.
Feel free to contact me to receive the full text versions if a link to the full text is not included via infolep@leprastichting.nl.
The Infolep team is working hard on development of its second portal www.InfoNTD.org. Until the launch of InfoNTD our
rapidly growing collection on Neglected Tropical Diseases can be found here: http://www.leprosy-information.org/category/collection/infontds-cross-cutting-issues
A selection of publications about WASH in NTD can be found here: http://www.leprosy-information.org/category/subject/wash
We are also developing a French interface for both the Infolep and the InfoNTD portal.
With kind regards,
Jiske Erlings
