Leishmaniosis study in Albania

[CARLOS BRISOLA MARCONDES]

Due to the similarities between species of Leishmania causative of visceral
leishmaniasis in Mediterranean countries and in South America, it would be
useful to check also the bibliography on VL in this region.

>>Dear Prof. Opperdoes,

>>we presently within the TEMPUS program between our faculty and the

>>Leishmaniosis in dogs in Albania. The student has sampled both

>>egological zones of Albania and establishes the prevalence in dogs as
>>well as identifies the possible species involved.

>>We therefore are most interested in all relevant literature,
>>references, activities, etc. on leishmaniosis (particularly in
>>mediterranean countries) on the disease, species, vector
>>(epidemiology, ecology!).
>>
>>Is there a database which we can tap into?
>>Any assistance from your side is greatly appreciated.
>>Thank you very much in advance.
