Abstract

Only Mycobacterium bovis BCG have already been approved for human use as a vaccine against leprosy although the major goal for its use is protection against tuberculosis. Furthermore, a large variability (20-80%) in its efficacy have been reported. Many groups are studying new vaccines against leprosy in the search of preparations with better reproducibility and efficacity. In this paper, we review the alternative vaccines already studied and the recent new developments (other mycobacteria, inactivated M. leprae, recombinant antigens, DNA, and mechanisms to modify the antigenic presentation).
