An evaluation of indices for quantifying tuberculosis transmission using genotypes of pathogen isolates.

BMC infectious diseases - 7 Jun 2006

Tanaka Mark M, Phong Renault, Francis Andrew R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Infectious diseases are often studied by characterising the population structure of the pathogen using genetic markers. An unresolved problem is the effective quantification of the extent of transmission using genetic variation data from such pathogen isolates. METHODS: It is important that transmission indices reflect the growth of the infectious population as well as account for the mutation rate of...
