AB - It is well known that clustering and close contact increases risk for leprosy infection which is 5–10 times higher among exposed however dynamics that facilitate such infection is poorly understood. This papers attempts to elucidate domains of poverty that may enhance the risk of the transmission of M. leprae and/or facilitate the progress from infection to disease especially among children. There is also attempt to review some of the epidemiological and biological explanations for some Sociogeconomic, environmental, and behavioural risk factors for leprosy facilitate the transmission of leprosy.
