Detection of <i>Mycobacterium leprae</i> DNA in soil; Multiple needles in the haystack?

2018-07-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis affecting the skin and nerves. Despite decades of availability of adequate treatment, transmission is unabated and routes of transmission are not completely understood. Notwithstanding the general assumption that untreated M. leprae infected humans represent the major source of transmission, scarc...
