Reviewer 2 Report
The review "European Medicinal Leeches – New Roles in Modern Medicine" is interesting, however, the bibliography is very old. There are only eight / 66 references included in the 2016-2019 period, which makes the document poorly usable for current applications.
Author Response
We thank the reviewer for the constructive recommendation to expand the number of references, particularly with more recent literature. I total we inserted 38 further references of which the majority was published between 2016-2019.
The inserted references and the modifications in the text have been labelled in red.
