Abstract
- The zebrafish emerged as a new model of developmental research and infection. Mycobacterium marinum naturally infects the zebrafish to develop the granuloma like tuberculosis. Also production of the protein of target gene in zebrafish can be specifically and effectively inhibited by morpholino. I suppose that the zebrafish might be a model of leprosy.
