Dear colleagues,

On a monthly basis we keep you up-to-date with scientific publications on leprosy and related subjects, recently added to the Infolep portal. Feel free to contact me for full text versions if a link to the full text is not included or for assistance with your literature research. To improve the availability of leprosy research in other languages than English we now have Google Translate's automated translations built into the Infolep portal (in the "markedly better than nothing" category). If you try this for your language, please let me know if this works for you. Jiske Erlings, j.erlings@leprastichting.nl Infolep Information officer
