Buruli ulcer is a skin disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, with endemicity predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa and southeastern Australia. Transmission and the environmental reservoir(s) of the bacterium remain elusive. Investigations have detected Mycobacterium ulcerans DNA in a variety of Australian environmental samples, including faeces of native possums (pictured) with and without clinical evidence of infection.
