Leprosy in armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) from Texas

KA Clark, SH Kim, LF Boening, MJ Taylor, TG Betz, and FV McCasland


ABSTRACT

Tissue sections from 237 nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) from 51 central Texas counties were examined microscopically for acid-fast bacilli and/or lesions of leprosy. Neither were found. A review of the literature relative to the incidence of leprosy from armadillos in Texas indicates that residents of counties along the Texas Gulf Coast may be at risk of contracting leprosy by handling infected armadillos or their tissues.
