Abstract excerpt

Recently about 500 new cases of leprosy have been reported each year in Thailand. In addition to a steady rate of new case detection, Thailand is in Southeast Asia where leprosy is endemic in neighbouring countries; therefore, strain differentiation could be useful in tracing origins and routes of infection, and general leprosy surveillance. To identify suitable markers for differentiation of M. leprae strains in...
