The role of super-spreading events in Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission: evidence from contact tracing
BACKGROUND: In current epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB), heterogeneity in infectiousness among TB patients is a challenge, which is not well studied. We aimed to quantify this heterogeneity and the presence of “super-spreading” events that can assist in designing optimal public health interventions...
