The role of prisons in disseminating tuberculosis in Brazil: a genomic epidemiology study

2021-06-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Globally, prisons are high-incidence settings for tuberculosis. Yet the role of prisons as reservoirs of M. tuberculosis , propagating epidemics through spillover from prisons to surrounding communities, has been difficult to measure directly. <h4>Methods and Findings</h4> To quantify the role of prisons in driving wider community M. tuberculosis transmission, we conducted prospective genomic s...
