[Leish-l] Leishmaniasis worldwide and estimates of its incidence

[jeffrey shaw]

It is my pleasure to announce that the paper 
"Leishmaniasis worldwide and estimates of its incidence" is now 
published in in PLoS-One:  
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0035671
98 countries and 3 territories have been found 
endemic, the information country by country can be found at the end of 
the cover paper. We consider that this attempt to give better 
epidemiological information has many limitations but if
 the countries empower the challenge, it will be an excellent platform 
to improve the data.
 
In addition, please note that the paper has been also published in WHO web page
http://www.who.int/leishmaniasis/resources/leishmaniasis_epidemiology_access_to_medicine/en/index.html
 
Please, consider if this information is relevant to the network. Thanks in advance,
 
Kind regards,
