the claim

Leprosy is much harder to contract today than in the past regardless of living conditions.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that leprosy is much harder to contract today than in the past regardless of living conditions?

Partly. One clinical source states leprosy is not easy to contract today, while a historical review attributes past spread to unhygienic conditions and decline to other pandemics rather than to the disease becoming intrinsically harder to catch. Neither source directly compares today's ease of contraction with the past regardless of living conditions.
