Thank you to Prof Mike Barrett & @christina-naula.bsky.social & anyone else involved in organising our post-#BSP2026 field trip to see William Leishman's former home in Blairmore! We learned so much & got lucky again with the sunshine! www.blairmorehall.com <- Village Hall link to support them!

The book offers a fascinating case study exploring the deep connection between leishmaniasis and the Colombian armed conflict, highlighting how war, environment, and infectious disease become tightly intertwined.
