Abstract
Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is a necrotizing skin disease emerging particularly in West Africa. M. bovis BCG vaccine offers only short-term protection against experimental footpad infection of C57BL/6 mice with M. ulcerans, and the duration of this protection cannot be prolonged by a booster vaccination.Entities:
