Abstract

Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), the causative agent of Buruli ulcer (BU), is considered an environmental pathogen. Different mycobacteria were detected in 68 (12%) out of 565 small mammals collected in BU endemic areas in Benin. Although MU was not found, we suggest more research on MU in African (small) mammals
