Our recent modelling study found that the estimated impact of new TB vaccines depends on the efficacy to prevent infectious asymptomatic TB. Read more in our paper out now in @plosmedicine.org!

In this modeling study, Allison Portnoy and colleagues investigate the potential impact of reduced international donor funding on the household economic burden of tuberculosis in low- and middle-income countries 🧪 #MedSky #TB

Exemplo de como o mais básico da vigilância ambiental é essencial: "O achado é resultado de uma pesquisa entomovirológica conduzida após a confirmação de epizootias em primatas não humanos, incluindo bugios encontrados mortos na região entre 25 e 31 de dezembro de 2024."

Mas, nãh, nãh, nãh, isso é um engano. Ao norte, Brasil, latinidade, barbarismo, carnaval. Ao sul, *snif, snif, snif*, civilização, descendentes de alemão de suspensórios e racismo.
Our Editor’s Choice commentary in @cidjournal.bsky.social finds that reported TB symptoms are an inadequate classifier of disease state, as they are heavily influenced by context and substantial interviewer variability, and may have alternative causes.

This is a really lovely paper by @dopapus.bsky.social and team
Self report of TB symptoms depends on lots of external factors and there are more robust markers of disease extent / severity available to inform surveillance and clinical management
#TBSky #EpiSky
We need to think beyond symptom status to classify TB disease, currently we have increasing evidence that symptom reporting is unreliable to assert disease states.
Very happy that i had the privilege to collaborate with this work!

Another successful "Intro to TB Modelling" course in Copenhagen at #WLHC2025. Over 70 joined to learn about TB modelling!
Followed by the now-traditional TB Modelling and Analysis Consortium social, which was also very well-attended and a lot of fun.

All are welcome to join the Gender Equity in TB Working Group today at 12:30 in Room B4B @theunion.org! We'll share updates on working group activities and host a panel discussion on progress to date and ways forward to ensure an equitable and inclusive #TB response.
Happy to see our group work out there!
It a good oportunity in this continuous mass-screening efforts to understand better the role of asymptomatic TB in transmission.

Our framework that informed the @who.int TB & climate change policy brief out now in @lancetrespirmed.bsky.social, exploring the intersections and implications of climate change for the TB epidemic. Key message? TB should be considered a climate-sensitive disease

“Wow, I saw in the last GTB report undernutrition is much less important for TB than we previously thought” I hear you say…
Well, no. We think this is an underestimate, & as much as 28% of TB could be attributable to undernutrition – see our latest comment here: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
When fluoroquinolone resistance status is unknown, empirical use of BPaLM (adding moxifloxacin to BPaL) is cost-effective as a replacement for BPaL even with high fluoroquinolone resistance levels! 🦠💊

In this new study, by linking TB notification data with incarceration and mortality databases, we found that one-third of individuals who were treated for TB in prisons were transferred to another prison or released during therapy. 3/5

The transition from prison to community is often a socially and medically vulnerable moment for persons deprived of liberty (PDL). Our previous work found that PDL in Brazil have 3x ⬆️ risk of mortality after prison release compared with others in their community 1/5 journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...
Understanding patterns of #TB exposure and transmission is needed for targeted prevention strategies. In our latest pre-print, @petedodd24.bsky.social and I estimated the proportion of TB exposure to and transmission from sex and age groups for 177 countries.
