It gives us great pleasure to extend our cordial invitation to you all to attend the 4th International Congress on Leishmania and Leishmaniosis (=leishmaniasis) or Worldleish 4, 2009. The first three congresses were held in Istanbul, Turkey, Crete, Greece and Sicily, Italy.

In WorldLeish 4, we hope to re-unite leishmaniacs from the world over by providing a forum to all for presenting their state-of-the-art research. Thus, scientists from all over the world will have the opportunity to share their findings, thoughts, and progress. It is also necessary to provide a fresh impetus to our long-term aims to identify areas of interest for future studies, and to promote interactions and cooperation among scientists from all disciplines of relevance in order to solve the global problems of leishmanioses.

We are happy to report the application from our Indian colleagues in response to the announcement last October to organize WL4.  Details of the proposal are given below for your comments and suggestions.
