Introduction. The spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis necessitates the implementation of novel analytical approaches for assessing epidemiological risks using wholegenome sequencing (WGS) data. Objective. To develop an Integrated Epidemiological Risk Index (IERI) that accounts …

**OBJECTIVE:** To analyse temporal trends of respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs) in Baiyin City from 2014 to 2023, aiming to explore the epidemiological patterns of these diseases (tuberculosis, scarlet fever, pertussis, measles, influenza, mumps, varicella and rubella) and pr…

Background Patients with Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates sharing identical DNA fingerprint patterns can be epidemiologically linked. However, municipal health services in the Netherlands are able to confirm an epidemiological link in only around 23% of the patients with isola…

Military conflicts have a negative impact on the epidemiology of various diseases, among which tuberculosis is in the lead. The increased risk of TB morbidity and mortality associated with war has been observed since World Wars I and II, and several civil wars, among others. Sepa…

Background Digital adherence technologies (DATs) with associated differentiated care are potential tools to improve tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes and reduce associated costs for both patients and healthcare providers. However, the balance between epidemiological and econom…

Relevance . The article presents an example of using the method of integral assessment of the epidemiological situation of tuberculosis, which is applied to the main statistical criteria as a more accurate approach in assessing the manifestation of the epidemic process and identi…

The transition from MIRU-VNTR-based epidemiology studies in tuberculosis (TB) to genomic epidemiology has transformed how we track transmission. However, short-read sequencing is poor at analyzing repetitive regions such as the MIRU-VNTR loci. This causes a gap between the new ge…

Background Tuberculosis remains a global health threat, and the World Health Organization reports a limited reduction in disease incidence rates, including both new and relapse cases. Therefore, studies targeting tuberculosis transmission chains and recurrent episodes are crucial…

Epidemiological surveillance systems enable collection, analysis and dissemination of information on the monitored disease to different stakeholders. It may be done manually or using a software. Given the poor performances of manual systems, the software approach is generally ado…

BackgroundWhole genome sequencing (WGS) is a reliable tool for studying tuberculosis (TB) transmission. WGS data are usually processed by custom-built analysis pipelines with little standardisation between them.AimTo compare the impact of variability of several WGS analysis pipel…

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is able to identify epidemiological links between Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Recent clustering can be ruled out using a pre-defined single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) threshold. If WGS clusters grow significantly over time limited genetic…
