A COMPLEX SCENARIO OF TUBERCULOSIS TRANSMISSION IS REVEALED THROUGH GENETIC AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEYS IN PORTO

A complex scenario of tuberculosis transmission is revealed through genetic and epidemiological surveys in Porto

Abstract Background dl0211 Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is decreasing worldwide and eradication is becoming plausible.In low-incidence countries, intervention on migrant populations is considered one of the most important strategies for elimination.However, such measures are inappropriate in European areas where TB is largely endemic, such as Porto
