J Wildl Dis.

Abstract
Ears from 853 nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi were examined microscopically for evidence of leprosy. All were negative for both acid-fast bacteria (Mycobacterium leprae) and lesions compatible with leprosy.
