Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) lineages show substantial variability in virulence, but the epidemiological consequences of this variability have not been studied in detail. Here, we aimed for a lineage-specific epidemiological characterization by applying phylodynamic models to genomic data from different countries, representing the most abundant MTBC lineages. Our results suggest that all lineages are...
