Who knew a meet up of TB modellers could be so much fun! Such a wonderful bunch of bright, open and friendly folks, dedicated to ending TB I'd be willing to bet that some new collaborations were formed. Thanks to BMGF for funding #Unionconference @tb_mac – at Paris, France

5/ 📢 Perhaps our most striking finding is that improving access to timely treatment for men with tuberculosis (in line with national ACF targets) reduces #TB incidence and mortality in women by ~10% and children by ~20%.

6/ Addressing the programmatic and social determinants of men's excess burden of #TB is essential to improve the health of men and women and children. Read more @PLOSGPH: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgph…. @richardwhite321 @drhaivnguyen @TomSumner49 @LizCorbett17 @Rein_Houben

1/ 📢 New paper! #TB morbidity is disproportionately high in men due to ⬆️ risk of infection/disease and ⬇️ access to timely treatment. Addressing these social and programmatic factors should reduce #TB burden in men, but what impact might that have on the rest of the population?

Given the substantial resources required for efficacy trials and the limited amount of funding available for TB vaccine development, it is crucial that trial end-points are carefully selected and study designs are as efficient as possible. bit.ly/3KmTGgZ @agbasteiro

Historically we've observed that as countries become wealthier, the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) disease reduces. But, who benefits? In our new paper 😎in @PLOSMedicine, we answer this question by analysing data from consecutive Viet Nam TB prevalence surveys 🧵 1/5
