Microbial Ecology offers articles of original research in full paper and note formats, as well as brief reviews and topical position papers.Ĭoverage includes the ecology of microorganisms in natural and engineered environments genomic and molecular advances in understanding of microbial interactions and phylogeny microbial drivers of biogeochemical processes inter- and intraspecific microbial communication ecological studies of animal, plant and insect microbiology and disease microbial processes and interactions in extreme or unusual environments microbial population and community ecology, and more. Microbial Ecology provides a dedicated international forum for the presentation of high-quality scientific investigations of how microorganisms interact with their biotic and abiotic environments, with each other as well as with their neighbors and hosts, to carry out their diverse functions. Microbial ecology lies at the heart of functioning for almost every ecosystem on the planet, from the deep-sea vents and subsurface systems to human and animal well-being from pristine marine and terrestrial environments to industrial bioreactor functioning. We conclude that it is unlikely that earthworms are an environmental source or reservoir of M. No acid-fast bacilli or other acid-fast structures were identified. Each was sagittally sectioned and examined by three independent observers. A sample consisted of 3-4 worms, which were washed, purged, fixed live in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and stained with the Fite stain. One site was sampled twice at patient 1's home, five sites were sampled once at patient 2's home, and three sites were sampled once at patient 3's home. Worms from each home worm farm were studied. (The US average is 22.7) Fawn Creek property crime is 18.4. leprae and be part of a cycle involving the armadillo and human beings. Crime is ranked on a scale of 1 (low crime) to 100 (high crime) Fawn Creek violent crime is 9.6. Since armadillos subsist on worms, grubs, and insects and because of the common feature of a "worm farm" near each home, we reasoned that earthworms might contain M. In considering possible environmental sources for Mycobacterium leprae, we observed that all three had earthworm growth areas for fishing bait where soil was kept moist near their homes. Each was aware of armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) near or under her home for decades. None has had any known exposure to human leprosy. Contact with armadillos is being assessed as a risk factor for leprosy in three white women, lifelong residents of separate rural areas in northern Louisiana, which is a region without endemic leprosy. Enzootic leprosy has been recognized in armadillos in Louisiana since 1975.
