[Histonet] Leprosy controls

[Goodwin, Diana]

FYI:  
Leptospira is a spirochete that causes leptospirosis in animals and can
be transmitted to humans.

Leprosy is caused by the organism Mycobacterium leprae, an acid fast
organism best displayed by the Fite stain.

Thanks to all for your replies.

Greetings!  Does anyone know of a source for M. leprae control slides?
Tried both HCS and AMT - both are out of stock with no re-stocking date.
 
Thanks!
