Comparing tuberculosis transmission inference of hotspots of active transmission. a Reproduced with permission from Zelner et al. demonstrating regions (shaded) identified as tuberculosis transmission hotspots. Different color shading denotes clusters of different drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains identified by MIRU-VNTR genotype. b A grayscale reproduction of this figure is overlaid on the modeled 200 m × 200 m grid from Fig. 2. We highlight those grid cells in red and orange, where the modeled proportion of child cases < 5 years old is greater than expected, to demonstrate the proximity between areas with higher local childhood tuberculosis notification and areas with conclusive evidence of transmission.
