Mycobacterium leprae in Armadillo Tissues from Museum Collections, United States.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Mar 2023

Romero-Alvarez Daniel, Garzon-Chavez Daniel, Jackson Mary, Avanzi Charlotte, Peterson A Townsend

Abstract excerpt

We examined armadillos from museum collections in the United States using molecular assays to detect leprosy-causing bacilli. We found Mycobacterium leprae bacilli in samples from the United States, Bolivia, and Paraguay; prevalence was 14.8% in nine-banded armadillos. US isolates belonged to subtype 3I-2, suggesting long-term circulation of this genotype.
