Mycobacterium tuberculosis W-Beijing genetic diversity and differential virulence and host immune responses (TB-VIR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

"Improvements in TB control require the development of new tools for rapid and accurate diagnosis and intervention. This development is likely to benefit from more detailed knowledge of microbe-host relationships during infection. Following M. tuberculosis infection, only 5-10% of immunocompetent individuals develop TB. It is increasingly thought that the virulence of the infecting strain, togethe ...
