Researchers identify what makes certain people more likely to contract leprosy than others.

An accomplished infectious disease scientist, Meyers spent the 1960s treating and studying the condition in central Africa.

Researchers identify two blood-clotting proteins that could be biomarkers for cardiovascular reactions in patients with leprosy.

What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes

Researchers sequence the genome of Mycobacterium lepromatosis, a recently discovered sister species to the primary leprosy-causing bacterium.

A scientist’s desperate attempts to prove that Mycobacterium leprae causes leprosy landed him on trial, but his insights into the disease’s pathology were eventually vindicated.
