Buruli ulcer: multidisciplinary research for improvement of control in AfricaPeriod: 01/12/2005 to 30/11/2008Budget from EC: EUR 1 590 000Coordinator: Prof Bernhard FleischerBernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical MedicineBuruli ulcer (BU), a disease caused by Mycobacteriumulcerans, is a neglected disease of the poor in remote, ruralareas. BU is the third most common mycobacterial diseaseafter tuberculosis and leprosy. It is most endemic in WestAfrica with incidences as high as 280/100 000, but casesoccur around the globe.Currently, BU is treated by surgery there are no establishedprotocols for treatment with antibiotics. This is neitheraffordable nor sustainable in endemic regions, and it is poorlyaccepted among people in endemic areas. Though mortalityof the disease is low, morbidity and subsequent disability arevery high, with up to half of those treated being left withdisabilities that have long-term social and economic impacts.New molecular tools are needed to explore epidemiologyand transmission, and improve diagnostics and treatment.This project is a multidisciplinary treatise that aims at thedevelopment of new tools and knowledge. The overallobjective is the improvement of BU control in Africa. Thiswill be achieved by: diagnostics, treatment, and psycho-social attitudes; and regional control programmes. in M. ulcerans. areas. case finding, laboratory diagnosis of BU suspects, andepidemiological surveys. can be obtained by anti-mycobacterial treatment alonein early, limited lesions of BU. and surgical treatment in larger BU lesions. T cells. be reduced by early case finding, improved treatmentmodalities, and appropriate, targeted, and culturallysuitable public health campaigns in endemic regions.BURULICO will also contribute to the optimisation ofnational control programmes in affected countries. It isexpected that the improvement of intervention strategiesaimed at in this project will subsequently lower treatmentcosts, allow wider access to treatment, and thereforecontribute to social equity.The following activities are foreseen via close networking ofpartners with different expertises: relationship to transmission; establishing guidelines; for therapy both with drugs and by surgery; understanding of the immune defence against M.ulcerans and to find possible correlates to prognosis; BU and its consequences for compliance with old andnew therapies.Health and public health
