AB - <p>Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects peripheral nerves, and the skin, but can also compromise functions of the eyes and other organs. <em>Mycobacterium leprae</em> (<em>M. leprae</em>) is the etiological agent and an obligate intracellular parasite [1]. Leprosy remains a serious public health problem in developing countries, such as India, Brazil and Indonesia, and it is endemic in Africa, Asia and Latin America [2].</p>
