One hundred two armadillos captured from the wild were lepomin tested. Nine of them (8.8%) showed a positive Mitsuda reaction. The histopathological appearance of the reaction had a spectrum showing tuberculoid, borderline tuberculoid, borderline lepromatous, and lepromatous histology. It is possible that armadillos can develop all the different types of leprosy seen in humans. The armadillo is a good animal model to test protective vaccines against leprosy.
对从野外捕获的102只犰狳进行了麻风菌素试验。其中9只（8.8%）出现了阳性麻风菌素反应。该反应的组织病理学表现呈现出一系列特征，包括结核样型、边缘结核样型、边缘瘤型和瘤型组织学表现。犰狳有可能发展出人类中可见的所有不同类型的麻风病。犰狳是测试麻风病保护性疫苗的良好动物模型。
