DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2207022119
Abstract: Significance Understanding the mechanisms of spatial heterogeneity in tuberculosis (TB) transmission may enhance the effectiveness of spatially targeted interventions. In this work, we integrated whole-genome sequences of 2,712 Mycobacterial tuberculosis isolates and geographic coordinates of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwac181
Abstract: The degree to which individual heterogeneity in the production of secondary cases ("superspreading") affects tuberculosis (TB) transmission has not been systematically studied. We searched for population-based or surveillance studies in which whole genome sequencing was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwx354
Abstract: The presence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in young children indicates recent tuberculosis (TB) transmission. We reviewed surveillance reports of children with LTBI to assess whether more follow-up is needed to prevent TB in this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/resp.13333
Abstract: More than 10 million new cases of tuberculosis (TB) are diagnosed worldwide each year. The majority of these cases occur in low‐ and middle‐income countries where the TB epidemic is predominantly driven by transmission. Efforts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12916-020-01702-x
Abstract: Identifying hotspots of tuberculosis transmission can inform spatially targeted active case-finding interventions. While national tuberculosis programs maintain notification registers which represent a potential source of data to investigate transmission patterns, high local tuberculosis incidence may… read more here.
