Delighted to share my first co-authored paper, now published in @PLOSMedicine In our modelling study, we show that the projected population-level impact of new TB vaccines may depend on their efficacy in preventing infectious asymptomatic TB. Read more: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...

Estimating the population impact of new tuberculosis vaccines depending on efficacy against infectious asymptomatic tuberculosis: A modelling study
Hira Tanvir and colleagues estimate the potential impact of new tuberculosis vaccines under three scenarios of efficacy and conclude that to achieve the greatest impact, vaccines must prevent asymptom...

Climate change and tuberculosis: an analytical framework
Climate change is likely to exacerbate a range of determinants that drive tuberculosis, the world's leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. However, tuberculosis is often neglected in w...
