We have a project on the epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis based 
in Belem at the mouth of the Amazon, and working largely on nearby 
Marajo Island. This is a cohort study investigating infection rates 
in the dog population, immunology, clinical outcome, infectiousness, 
and putting all this together in a quantitative epidemiological 
framework which is being used to assess the efficacy of various 
control methods. During the 5 or so years we have been working with 
the Instituto Evandro Chagas in Belem we have had visiting medical and 
veterinary students and would, in principle, be happy to have 
another. The catch is that we are plannig toi finish fieldwork early 
next summer, though it is a little early to be precise about the 
date. So the timing may or may not be suitable. But please get in 
touch if you want to discuss it further.
