Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In the southern region of the United States, such as in Louisiana and Texas, there are autochthonous cases of leprosy among native-born Americans with no history of foreign exposure. In the same region, as well as in Mexico, wild armadillos are infected with Mycobacterium leprae. METHODS: Whole-genome resequencing of M. leprae from one wild armadillo and three U.S. patients with leprosy revealed that...
