CPLP-TB: a new tuberculosis transnational surveillance tool for the lusophone c...
Perdigão, João; Silva, Carla; Diniz, Jaciara; Pereira, Catarina; Machado, Diana; Ramos, Jorge; Silva, Hugo; Abilleira, Fernanda; Brum, ClariceTuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem within the Community of Portuguese Language Speaking Countries (CPLP). Despite the marked variation in TB incidence across its member-states and continued human migratory flux between countries, a considerable gap in the knowledge on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis population structure and strain circulation between the countries still exists. To address this, we ...

Pereira, Catarina; Gomes, Pedro; Taveira, Ricardo; Silva, Carla; Maltez, Fernando; Macedo, Rita; Costa, Catarina; Couvin, David; Rastogi, NalinTuberculosis among foreign-born patients is a key indicator of country-level epidemiological profiles and, of an increasing concern in Europe given the more intensified migratory waves of refugees. Since Portugal presents a lower immigrant-associated TB incidence rate when compared to other European countries, we sought to characterize the epidemiology and transmission dynamics among the foreign-born population...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis causing tuberculous lymphadenitis in Maputo, Mozambique
Viegas, Sofia Omar; Ghebremichael, Solomon; Massawo, Leguesse; Alberto, Matos; Fernandes, Fabíola Couto; Monteiro, Eliane; Couvin, DavidBACKGROUND: The zoonosis bovine tuberculosis (TB) is known to be responsible for a considerable proportion of extrapulmonary TB. In Mozambique, bovine TB is a recognised problem in cattle, but little has been done to evaluate how Mycobacterium bovis has contributed to human TB. We here explore the public health risk for bovine TB in Maputo, by characterizing the isolates from tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN) ca...
