Use of short tandem repeat sequences to study Mycobacterium leprae in leprosy patients in Malawi and India.

Use of short tandem repeat sequences to study Mycobacterium leprae in leprosy patients in Malawi and India.

Inadequate understanding of the transmission of Mycobacterium leprae makes it difficult to predict the impact of leprosy control interventions. Genotypic tests that allow tracking of individual bacterial strains would strengthen epidemiological studies and contribute to our understanding of the dise...
