Mycobacterium leprae Infection in a Wild Nine-Banded Armadillo, Nuevo León, Mexico

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are naturally infected with Mycobacterium leprae and are implicated in the zoonotic transmission of leprosy in the United States. In Mexico, the existence of such a reservoir remains to be characterized.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial empyema in an immunocompetent child

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2018
Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are mycobacterial species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. There are very few reports of NTM in immunocompetent children causing empyema.

Salivary anti-PGL-1 IgM may indicate active transmission of Mycobacterium leprae among young people under 16 years of age

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
Considering that the main route of Mycobacterium leprae transmission is the upper respiratory tract, detection of salivary antibodies can be a useful tool for diagnosing early infection.

Diagnostic assays for leprosy based on T-cell epitopes. [PDF]

, 2000
To date, only a limited number of antigens have been described as specific for Mycobacterium leprae, and in many cases, homologues have subsequently been shown to exist in mycobacteria such as M. avium and M. intracellulare.

Phylogenomics and antimicrobial resistance of the leprosy bacillus Mycobacterium leprae

Nature Communications, 2018
Leprosy is caused by the yet-uncultured pathogen Mycobacterium leprae. Here, Benjak et al. obtain M. leprae genome sequences from DNA extracted from patients' skin biopsies and, by analysing 154 genomes from 25 countries, provide insight into the ...
