Search for Mycobacterium leprae in wild mammals [PDF]

The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Leprosy is still a worldwide public health problem. Brazil and India show the highest prevalence rates of the disease. Natural infection of armadillos Dasypus novemcinctus with Mycobacterium leprae has been reported in some regions of the United States. Identification of bacilli is difficult, particularly due to its inability to grow in vitro.
