Mapping suitability for Buruli ulcer at fine spatial scales across Africa: a modelling study

2020-04-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Buruli ulcer (BU) is a disabling and stigmatising neglected tropical disease (NTD). Its distribution and burden are unknown because of underdiagnosis and underreporting. It is caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans , an environmental pathogen whose environmental niche and transmission routes are not fully understood. Active BU case searches can limit morbidity by identifying cases and linking them to...
