Leprosy Mailing List – September 1, 2020
Ref.: (LML) New publications on leprosy. September, 2020
From: Annemiek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
The UN Human Rights Council has renewed Alice Cruz's mandate as UN Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members for a further three years. We are glad that Alice will remain Special Rapporteur and will thus continue to offer a valuable contribution to eliminating discrimination against persons affected by leprosy. Click here to learn more.
The Federal University of Espírito Santo in Brazil launched the new platform info Hansen to produce and disseminate information on leprosy. The project is initiated by prof. Patricia Deps and run by her students and volunteers, who will share interesting blogs, interviews and events on specific themes. Please visit infohansen.org and select your preferred language.
This month the Neglected Tropical Disease NGO Network (NNN) hosts the 11th Annual Conference. We wish all attendees an educational and inspirational conference.
Infolep constantly aims to increase its accessibility by sharing publications in multiple languages. However, if you come across key publications, which are not available in other languages than English, kindly inform us and we will try to acquire a translated version through our partners.
Like every month we send you an overview of publications on leprosy recently added to the Infolep website. Please feel free to contact me to receive full-text versions if these cannot be found through the Infolep portal. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches.
Warm regards,
Anniek Akerboom

Notification
The journal Leprosy Review has a renewed website www.leprosyreview.org. Unfortunately, temporary technical issues have led to several volumes of Leprosy Review not being available on the new website and therefore not accessible through the Infolep portal. We are collaborating with Leprosy Review to ensure that the links will work properly again as soon as possible. Please contact info@infolep.org to receive the Leprosy Review publication you are looking for or visit the Leprosy Review web archive.
