Dear Pieter,

Regarding Dr Ajit mail from 20-6-2019: I do not know if any lizard having been found with leprosy bacilli. They may have acid-fast bacilli, but I doubt whether they are M. leprae. But it is worth looking at since we know now that M. leprae may survive in the environment.

With regards,

Ben Naafs
