Leprosy: some new concepts of epidemiology and control.

Abstract

[Author’s note: The request for this paper reached me in East Nigeria, and here it is being written, far from any library, with only limited literature available. References to literature are therefore limited, and documentation is incomplete. This must be a rather informal presentation of my subject; an essay rather than a scientific thesis, and an essay written with a strong personal flavour. While some of the ideas are original, many are borrowed from other workers, though due acknowledgement has not always been possible.]
