Dear Pieter,

We would like to draw the attention of the LML readership to a view point that is published this week in the Journal of Neglected Tropical Disease (PLOS – open access) – see attached file (The Missing Millions: A Threat to the Elimination of Leprosy by William Cairns Smith, Wim van Brakel, Tom Gillis, Paul Saunderson, Jan Hendrik Richardus).  The paper is based on analysis of the consequences of the substantial fall in new case detection in leprosy that occurred immediately the year 2000.   We hope this analysis will stimulate debate about the current global leprosy situation.

With best wishes,

Cairns Smith
