Article Synopsis
- Approximately 500 new leprosy cases occur annually in Thailand, highlighting the need for strain differentiation to trace infection sources and enhance surveillance.
- Researchers examined variable nucleotide tandem repeats (VNTRs) from 97 skin samples to identify markers that could differentiate M. leprae strains in various regions.
- Findings revealed two main strain groups in Thailand with no clear geographical distribution, while similar VNTR profiles among family members indicated potential common source infections.
