About this Special Issue

The Fourth World Congress on Leishmania and Leishmaniasis (WorldLeish4) held in Lucknow, India, on 3-7 February, 2009, was the impetus for this special edition newsletter. Here we highlight the challenges of tackling Leishmania and the progress being made by DNDi ’s activities to improve effective control of the disease, and how we are working with partners to bring these patients out of the shadows.

To learn more about the event, visit www.worldleish4.org or www.dndi.org.
