  abstract = {<p>Swiss albino mice were inoculated with Mycobacterium leprae obtained from untreated lepromatous patients. Histopathological study of sciatic nerves showed no abnormality. However a few free acid fast bacilli (AFB) were detected in the sciatic nerves taken from the inoculated limbs during the early stages of infection, suggesting the nerve-fibre route of travel as seen in humans in experimental leprosy, too.</p>},
