2. Occurrence of free-living amoebae in communities of low and high endemicity for Buruli ulcer in southern Benin

Author

Abstract

A study is conducted to determine the nature and distribution of free-living amoebae in areas of Benin with low and high endemicities for Buruli ulcer (BU). The differences observed in socio-economic status between the areas and high and of low BU endemicity fail to explain the actual mechanism linking BU endemicity and the occurrence of free-living amoebae.

3. First detection of mycobacteria in African rodents and insectivores, using stratified pool screening

Abstract

The prevalence of mycobacteria in rodents and insectivores are studied in Morogoro, Tanzania, by using direct smear examination (DSE) after acid-fast staining technique. The findings have shown that potentially pathogenic mycobacteria have posed a risk for other animals and humans, especially HIV/AIDS patients, having a weakened immune system.

4. Potential role of fish in transmission of Mycobacterium ulcerans disease (Buruli ulcer): an environmental study

Author

Eddyani, Miriam, Ofori-Adjei, David, Tuegels, Guy, De Weirdt, David, Boakye, Daniel, Meyers, Wayne M, and Portaels, Francoise

Subjects
Fishes -- Genetic aspects, Mycobacteria -- Genetic aspects, Mycobacterium -- Genetic aspects, Microbiological research, Biological sciences
Abstract

The potential role that fish may play in the transmission of Mycobacterium ulcerans disease (Buruli ulcer) is investigated. The analysis supports that hypothesis that fish may be passive reservoirs of M. ulcerans but are not usually responsible for direct transmission.
