Background Placental characters vary among Xenarthra, one of four supraordinal clades of Eutheria. Armadillos are known for villous, haemochorial placentas similar to humans. Only the nine-banded armadillo has been well studied so far.

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.

Experimental infections with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis obtained from armadillos: comparison to clinical isolates

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) that is one of the most prevalent systemic human mycoses in Latin America. Armadillos show a high incidence of PCM infection and could, therefore, be a natural reservoir for this fungus ...

Corneal changes in nine-banded armadillos with leprosy.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 1988
Leprosy is the third leading cause of blindness worldwide; however, little is known about the ocular changes that occur during the disease process. We have studied the eyes of two nine-banded armadillos with experimental Mycobacterium leprae infection by light and electron microscopy.
