[Leish-l] Leish-l Digest, Vol 93, Issue 26

[Abdallah Samy]

Hello Everyone!
I am looking to explore some analyses on Leishmaniasis and sand fly in
Americas. Please if you are willing to contribute data for any of parasite
and vector data and participate in the study, please send me an email to
asamy.ku at outlook.com. All contributors will be authors for the study.

Cheers
Abdallah
