Tuberculosis (TB) infection continues to pose a high burden on global health, and wide
efforts are made to combat the disease. Despite the ongoing improvements in global …

Evidence of preferential mixing through selected social routes has been suggested for the
transmission of tuberculosis (TB) infection in low burden settings. A realistic modelization of …

Tuberculosis (TB) transmission is a key factor for disease-control policy, but the timing and
distribution of transmission and the role of social contacts remain obscure. We develop an …

Despite great efforts to control the spread of tuberculosis (TB), the disease remains
stubbornly persistent, having infected one third of the world population, and causing more …

Rationale: Household contact tracing has recently been endorsed for global tuberculosis
(TB) control, but its potential population-level impact remains uncertain. Objectives: To …

The desire to better understand the transmission of infectious disease in the real world has
motivated the representation of epidemic diffusion processes in the context of qualitative …

We present a framework for discrete network-based modeling of TB epidemiology in US
counties using publicly available synthetic datasets. We explore the dynamics of this …

Infectiousness heterogeneity among individuals with tuberculosis (TB) is substantial and is
likely to have a significant impact on the long-term dynamics of TB and the effectiveness of …

Background Tuberculosis (TB) control efforts are hampered by an imperfect understanding
of TB epidemiology. The true age distribution of disease is unknown because a large …

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) increases the risks of developing tuberculosis (TB)
disease following infection, and speeds up disease progression. This has had a devastating …
