Risks are not uniform in space and time Time and Space Risks are not uniform in space and time
Drivers Socioeconomic gradient Poorest have the highest risk Confounded – economic development migration to urban slums Interventions – treatment is prevention? TB/ART (untreated individuals) IPT/BCG? Role of other factors age group and social network! Catalyst in space and time Targeting hotspots of transmission greatest impact

Conclusion Declining burden of TB but not fast enough DR TB Role of HIV important KYE/KYR is essential Catalysts of proximal factors are low hanging fruit Upstream factors vital to accelerate decline DR TB Stable but outcomes horrific Role of DS TB Important role of transmission (catalyst)
