Sample locations for detection of Mycobacterium ulcerans DNA in Buruli ulcer–endemic area, northern Queensland, Australia. A) Pond where IS2404-positive soil sample was collected at first sampling time in September 2013; B) same location dried out at the end of the dry season in October. C, D) Other water bodies suspected to be linked to M. ulcerans infections, such as creeks (C) or water surfaces near houses (D), showed negative results for IS2404. IS, insertion sequence.
