Genome-based transmission modeling separates imported tuberculosis from recent transmission within an immigrant population

2017-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> In many countries tuberculosis incidence is low and largely shaped by immigrant populations from high-burden countries. This is the case in Norway, where more than 80 per cent of TB cases are found among immigrants from high-incidence countries. A variable latent period, low rates of evolution and structured social networks make separating import from within-border transmission a major conundr...
