The Biology and Epidemiology of Mycobacterium africanum.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2017

Yeboah-Manu Dorothy, de Jong Bouke C, Gehre Florian

Abstract excerpt

West Africa is the only region in the world where six out of seven mycobacterial lineages of human importance are endemic. In particular, two evolutionary ancient lineages, Mycobacterium africanum West Africa 1 (MTBC Lineage 5) and M. africanum West Africa 2 (MTBC Lineage 6) are of interest as they cause up to 40% of all pulmonary TB cases in some West African countries. Although these M. africanum lineages are...
