TL;DR: In this paper, a method for estimating transmission intervals using surveillance or outbreak investigation data that does not require a contact tracing data or pathogen whole genome sequence data on all cases is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Earl G. Long,Edwin P. Ewing,Jeanine Bartlett,C. Robert Horsburgh,Kristin A. Birkness,Mitch A. Yakrus,Gale W. Newman,Frederick D. Quinn +7 more
TL;DR: Eight-day-old embryonated hen's eggs were used as a model to study Mycobacterium avium virulence and found that PBMCs infected with less virulent egg-passaged strains of M. avium produced higher levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha than did peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected with more virulent nonpassaging strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overestimation of coprevalent and underestimation of incident tuberculosis in close contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological approach to ending tuberculosis in high-burden countries

Holly Michelle Crowe,Elizabeth E. Hatch,Tanran R. Wang,C. Robert Horsburgh,Ellen M. Mikkelsen,Wendy Kuohung,Lauren A. Wise,Amelia K. Wesselink +7 more
TL;DR: Periconceptional antibiotic use was not appreciably associated with SAB in this study and there were no strong associations between antibiotic type, indication for use, or recency of exposure and SAB risk.
