Dear Pieter,

 

Greetings from Infolep!

The new Infolep portal is now live. Please take a look at
www.leprosy-information.org and let me know what you think. 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. And keep sending us your publications on leprosy or material on leprosy in your language to include in the portal.

If you are at the ILC in Beijing, please come say hello at the joint ILEP exhibition stand which you will find at the BICC level 2.
