i still feel armadillo's the best as validated by dr bruno so shall stick with it

I think foot pad of mice is the best.In 9 banded armadillo there will be a certain immune response to the lepra bacilli which may adversely affect the yield of the bacilli.In foot pad of mice there is ideal conditions for growth of lepra bacilli and no immune response.
