Fig. 1 Detection of Mycobacterium leprae from environmental samples targeting the RLEP region. PCR amplification of the RLEP region of M. leprae obtained from the environmental samples from Purulia. PCR product was electrophoresed on a 2% agarose gel. Samples were: lane 1, negative control; lane 2, positive control; lane 3, 100 bp ladder, lanes 4–11, environmental samples.
