Abstract in brief

  • Leprosy cases in the southern U.S., particularly Louisiana and Texas, are linked to local wild armadillos that carry the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae.
  • Genomic analysis shows that strains from infected armadillos and U.S. patients are nearly identical, suggesting a common source of infection.
  • This indicates that leprosy in the region could be a zoonotic disease, with armadillos serving as a significant reservoir for the bacteria.

Correcto, se confirmó en la biopsia #lepra. El antecedente de contacto con armadillos de 9 bandas fue el más importante, el cuál es una de las maneras de contraer esta rara enfermedad. https://t.co/2U9E7n2Ci7, https://t.co/5pZZsbo5M9 #docramiro

@Cameron99501140 @SuperCaity @joelkoskan It is rare to contract it and easily treated, but no, you would not need to eat the animal. Contact with feces, for example, would be sufficient. https://t.co/wdDnOeSPo8

Correcto, se confirmó en la biopsia #lepra. El antecedente de contacto con armadillos de 9 bandas fue el más importante, el cuál es una de las maneras de contraer esta rara enfermedad. https://t.co/2U9E7n2Ci7, https://t.co/5pZZsbo5M9 #docramiro
