Leprosy is caused by the bacteria Microbacterum leprae.A person needs to be genetically susceptible to the infection to contract leprosy. Over 90% of the human population is naturally resistant to this infection. Those that are infected, it is believed they acquired the disease by inhaling infected respiratory droplets spread from another infected person
Qualifying it as a zoonosis, "naturally acquired" leprosy (caused by the bacteria "Mycobacterium leprae" and "Mycobacterium lepromatosis") has been reported in populations of the wild nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), three species of non-human primates (chimpanzees [Pan troglodytes], sooty mangabey monkeys [Cercocebus atys], and cynomolgus macaques [Macaca fascicularis], as well as humans. "Naturally acquired" murine leprosy has been reported in rats, mice, and cats, but not in humans or any other species, so it does not qualify as a zoonosis.
I do not have leprosy.
No they do not eat mosquitos
Some people are genetically resistant to leprosy, probably and no matter what, they do not get leprosy. Other with tuberculous type of leprosy have high resistance to leprosy. Those with lepromatous type of leprosy have least resistance to leprosy germs. The intermediate leprosy type have intermediate resistance to leprosy germs. Body reacts to leprosy by trying to kill the leprosy causing germs. There is an inflammatory response.
