Abstract excerpt

Leprosy continues to be endemic in parts of China. To track the occurrence of leprosy and determine at risk communities, molecular strain typing based on variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) was applied in Qiubei County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province of the People's Republic of China, a multiethnic region that is home to four predominant ethnic minorities. A previous study, conducted between 2002 and...
