Potential health impacts and costs of active case finding guided by Mycobacterium tuberculosis immunoreactivity survey results in Blantyre, Malawi: A mathematical modeling study

Background Active case finding (ACF) for tuberculosis (TB) can reduce transmission, yet efficient targeting requires high-quality surveillance data. We investigated the potential costs and impact of targeted ACF, guided by local estimates of the annual risk of TB infection (ARTI)...

Comparing subsampling strategies for efficient pairwise analysis of large pathogen genomic and spatial datasets: An application to Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission

Pairwise analysis of genomic and spatial data offers opportunities to identify and estimate the associations between covariates and the transmission of pathogens between individuals. However, such pairwise analyses are computationally intensive, and may not be feasible to conduct...
