INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LEPROSY Vol. 46 No. 4, pp 436-438, 1978 Initiation of the Armadillo Program by Eleanor E. Storrs I have read with growing concern the public letters and notes which have appeared in IJL ( 64-65 1977), ASM News, and LSM written by Dr. Kirchheimer (and in one case by Dr. K. Prabhakaran) concerning the genesis of the armadillo-leprosy program. I dislike public controversy, but I feel that a few clarifying statements in regard to the start of the armadillo-leprosy program are in order to project my scientific reputation specifically, as well as aid the cause of women in science generally I first made the suggestion that the armadillo might be a useful animal for the study of leprosy at a meeting with members of the U.S. Leprosy Panel at Gulf South Research Institute on March 19, 1968. This was later confirmed in a memorandum written by Dr. C. C. Shepard dated September 7, 1971. The reasons for my making this suggestion are fully disclosed in papers written by me which have appeared in IJL ( 703- 714, 1970 and Leprosy Review

Friends Of The Children Of Orissa Home About us Newsletters School Children ... Charity Donations Save a girl in India from a life of misery Every penny goes to the 300 children in Orissa! We are one of a few India charity organisations providing UK charity donations to support not several residential schools, but a single boarding school in Bhubaneswar, India. Every penny of charity donations goes to cover the cost of the childrens' residential education (keep and education). None of your money will be spent on fundraising, administration, travel or the other expenses associated with the more familiar charity appeals. Neither does it go towards other India based Charity organisations. It all goes to providing our pupils with good boarding school education and the best school life the charity donations can provide for our pupils. Who are we ? What do we do ? We are a small education charity set up in 1992 to assist Palli Unnayan Seva Samiti in Orissa, still our main partner. Our main purpose is to raise charity donations for the up-keep and provision of one of the best international charity funded, residential schools in India as without an official India school education more than 300 children from sexworker and leprosy colonies in Orissa would grow up to become uneducated, impoverished women. We do this mainly through 'word of mouth' publicity, circulars to regular and potential supporters information, stalls at local events, and applications to funding agencies. Our supporters include friends from Cranfield School of Management, from Filgrave near Milton Keynes, from Bozeat in Northamptonshire, and from many other places in the UK and abroad.

Leprosy is a chronic bacterial disease of the skin and nerves in the hands and feet and, in some cases, the lining of the nose. Leprosy is a rare disease in the United States. Who gets leprosy? Anyone can get leprosy, but children seem to be more susceptible than adults. How is leprosy spread? It is not clear how the leprosy germ is spread, but household and prolonged close contact is important. The germs probably enter the body through the nose and possibly through broken skin. The germs get in the air through nasal discharge of untreated lepromatous patients. What are the symptoms of leprosy? Tuberculoid leprosy symptoms are a few well-defined skin lesions that are numb. Lepromatous leprosy symptoms are a chronically stuffy nose and many skin lesions and nodules on both sides of the body. How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?

The Project is developing a database of leprosy archives around the world, as a working tool for researchers who are interested in the modern history of leprosy, dating from 1847, when Danielssen and Boeck published Om Spedalskhed . It will also be of interest to those connected with leprosy and its impact. The collections mentioned on the database have a wide range of organisational, policy, scientific and medical archives as well as leprosaria records, museums and libraries. Also included are private collections of those who have worked in the field and collections of testimonies from people affected by the disease. The project does not hold any of these records, but provides information of their existence and whereabouts. While the database creates pathways for researchers, the project will both encourage the preservation of archives and establish a network of researchers.

Lepers Leper with a bell in the margins in the text of a fourteenth century manuscript. Definition: The official disease, leprosy, produced by Mycobacterium leprae, was not scientifically identified until 1874, and the cause for the disease was not proven until the 1960s. It is difficult to diagnose even today; therefore, there must have been much confusion surrounding the disease in the Middle Ages. Those classified with leprosy, especially during the Middle Ages, did not necessarily exhibit any of the common symptoms. The classification "leper" was given to many social deviants. Consequently, for purposes of studying lepers in the Middle Ages, we will define lepers as R.I. Moore does in Formation of a Persecuting Society , as "those who were called lepers and treated as such.". The general characteristics of the disease include, but are not limited to: loss of sensation at the nerve ends destroyed blood vessels, ligaments and skin tissues eroded bones sores ulcers scabs Issues: Treatment of lepers in Christian and Islamic Societies: Although lepers were isolated and treated differently than other members of society in both religious cultures, the medieval treatment of lepers in Islamic society seemed to be less harsh than in Christian societies. There are common religious interpretations in both Christian and Islamic societies regarding leprosy, but the effect of such interpretation appeared to be less " marginalizing" in Islamic societies. In Islamic society, there was little evidence of lepers being required to wear distinctive clothing. The association of lepers with the "unclean" is seen in the popularity of baths as a treatment for leprosy, but this occurred mostly in areas of Christian influence, such as the Crusader states.

Brett Finlay, Ph.D. Featured Infectious Disease: Leprosy In the United States, a federal hospital for leprosy sufferers is being phased out and its last 69 residents are being encouraged to leave the facility. And the World Health Organization targeted the year 2000 for eliminating leprosy on a global basis. Leprosy, that age-old scourge of humankind, finally may be on the run. Here are facts about this infectious disease. What is leprosy? Leprosy, also called Hansen's disease, is a mildly infectious disease that attacks peripheral nerves. It is caused by a bacillus, Mycobacterium leprae . In very serious cases, the bacilli may be found in the lymph nodes, male testes, spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The infection can damage nerves in the face and body, leading to a loss of sensation and paralysis. Because sensation is lost, everyday activities are fraught with danger as wounds go unnoticed. Even stones in shoes and grit in the eyes may lead to serious harm when left unattended. Patients may lose fingers, feet, and eyesight. When did it start?

Leprosy , sometimes known as Hansen's disease , is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae , an aerobic acid fast , rod-shaped mycobacterium . The modern term for the disease is named after the discoverer of the bacterium, Gerhard Armauer Hansen Sufferers of Hansen's disease have historically been known as lepers , however this term is falling into disuse as a result of the diminishing number of leprosy patients and the pejorative connotations of the term. The terms "leprosy" and "lepers" can also lead to public misunderstanding because the Bible uses these terms in reference to a wide range of incurable skin conditions other than Hansen's disease.

Kalaupapa National Historical Park (National Park Service) Official National Park Service web site of park commemorating two tragedies the forced removal of indigenous people from the land, and isolation of people with Hansen's disease (leprosy). Brief history, contact information. Admission is free, but visitors must obtain a permit from the state Department of Health. http://www.nps.gov/kala/

Fee Information Inventory and Priorities Two tragedies occurred on the Kalaupapa Peninsula on the north shore of the island of Moloka`i; the first was the removal of indigenous people in 1865 and 1895, the second was the forced isolation of sick people to this remote place from 1866 until 1969. The removal of Hawaiians from where they had lived for 900 years cut the cultural ties and associations of generations of people with the `aina (land). The establishment of an isolation settlement, first at Kalawao and then at Kalaupapa, tore apart Hawaiian society as the kingdom, and subsequently, the territory of Hawai`i tried to control a feared disease. The impact of broken connections with the `aina and of family members "lost" to Kalaupapa are still felt in Hawai`i today. Kalaupapa National Historical Park, established in 1980, contains the physical setting for these stories. Within its boundaries are the historic Hansen's disease settlements of Kalaupapa and Kalawao. The community of Kalaupapa, on the leeward side of Kalaupapa Peninsula, is still home for many surviving Hansen's disease patients, whose memories and experiences are cherished values. In Kalawao on the windward side of the peninsula are the churches of Siloama, established in 1866, and Saint Philomena, associated with the work of Father Damien (Joseph De Veuster).
