AB - <p>How Mycobacterium leprae infection causes demyelination to mediate leprosy pathogenesis has been a&nbsp;long-standing question. In a recent Cell paper, Madigan et&nbsp;al. (2017) use a zebrafish model of M.&nbsp;leprae infection to show that infected macrophages patrol axons to trigger mitochondrial damage and induce demyelination of nerve cells.</p>
