[Leish-l] Re Congenital and/or Sexual L. Transmission

Thu Oct 27 15:48:08 BRST 2011

Dear Joan,

Good to hear from you after so many years ! 

Thank you so much for providing the exhaustive list of publications on
the subject. I got 23 in your list by a pubmed search for "congenital
transmission and leishmaniasis".
