Female Aedes aegypti which took partial blood meals from the skin lesions of untreated lepromatous leprosy (LL) patients were then allowed to continue feeding on 72-96-hr-old Swiss albino suckling mice (Rockefeller strain). The bitten portion of skin was removed, divided into two parts and processed for the extraction of bacilli by two different methods using chloroform and petroleum ether. The proboscis of some of the fed mosquitoes was dissected out and examined for viable bacilli (stained by fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide) and acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Out of 50 probosces dissected 45 were found positive for AFB, with bacillary counts ranging up to 246 (average 40.20 +/- SD 41.80) per proboscis. The average percentage of viable bacilli (green solid) in the probosces immediately after feeding on LL patients was 43.90 and thereafter it decreased gradually to 3 on the seventh day. In the petroleum ether extract of mouse skin viable bacilli were observed in numbers up to 37 (average 15.25 +/- SD 10.25) per smear. The number of fluorescing bacilli (green and red) correlated with the total number of AFB.
