The role of super-spreading events in Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission: evidence from contact tracing Open
TB transmission is highly over dispersed and super-spreading events are responsible for a substantial majority of secondary infections. Heterogeneity of transmission and super-spreading are critical issues to consider in the design of inte…
