Nine-banded armadillo and leprosy research.
Indian journal of pathology & microbiology, 2004 In this presentation an attempt has been made to describe the nine-banded armadillo as an animal model, probably the only one in which lepromatous leprosy similar to that found in humans can be experimentally produced. Some unique features of the physiology of the animal are mentioned.
