Molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis in Western Burkina Faso: insights from a MIRU-VNTR study
This study provides new insights into the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of MTBC strains in Burkina Faso. While the observed low clustering suggests limited recent TB transmission, the findings require further validation through larger-scale studies incorporating whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Understanding TB strain diversity is crucial for optimizing diagnostic strategies and TB control policies in West Africa.
