Prevalence and significance of positive Mitsuda reaction in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
Int J Lepr Other Mycobact Dis. 1987 Dec; 55(4):685-8.IJ

Abstract

One hundred two armadillos captured from the wild were lepomin tested. Nine of them (8.8%) showed a positive Mitsuda reaction. The histopathological appearance of the reaction had a spectrum showing tuberculoid, borderline tuberculoid, borderline lepromatous, and lepromatous histology. It is possible that armadillos can develop all the different types of leprosy seen in humans. The armadillo is a good animal model to test protective vaccines against leprosy.
