AB - <p>Background: Finding of <em>Mycobacterium leprae</em> from water and soil of leprosy endemic areas were reported. East Java Province is ranked number eight as the endemic area of leprosy in Indonesia and Lamongan district is the local area with the highest new cases reported. To study the transmission of <em>M leprae</em> infection in endemic areas, it is important to detect the distribution of <em>M leprae</em> in the environment and population, also to analyze the genetic variation pattern.</p>
