Distribution of Mycobacterium leprae strains among cases in a rural and urban population of Maharashtra, India.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Apr 2012

Kuruwa Sanjana, Vissa Varalakshmi, Mistry Nerges

Abstract excerpt

The elimination of leprosy continues to be a challenge, with the disease remaining endemic in several countries. India accounts for the highest number of cases, and the identification of child cases indicates recent transmission. Genetic markers, like variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs) and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been identified to track transmission of the pathogen Mycobacterium leprae....
