Defining new Buruli ulcer endemic areas in urban southeastern Australia using bacterial genomics-informed possum excreta surveys

2025-07-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Buruli ulcer (BU) in southeastern Australia is a zoonosis caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans . Australian native possums are a major wildlife reservoir and infected possums shed M. ulcerans in their excreta, with mosquitoes being the major transmitting vector in this region. BU is geographically restricted and this feature, combined with an average 4.8-month incubation period, mak...
