Terrestrial small mammals as reservoirs of mycobacterium ulcerans in Benin

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Volume 76, No. 13, Year 2010

Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer (BU), is considered an environmental pathogen. Different mycobacteria were detected in 68 (12%) out of 565 small mammals collected in areas in Benin where BU is endemic. Although M. ulcerans was not found, we suggest that more research on M. ulcerans in African (small) mammals is needed. Copyright © 2010, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.
