University of British Columbia
Summary:
Using genome sequencing, researchers now have the ability to determine when a tuberculosis outbreak is over. The research is the first of its kind to demonstrate that genomic analysis can be used to determine when a TB outbreak has ended--valuable knowledge which can assist public health investigators understand an outbreak's dynamics and guide a real-time public health response...
