An evaluation of indices for quantifying tuberculosis transmission using genotypes of pathogen isolates
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Infectious diseases are often studied by characterising the population structure of the pathogen using genetic markers. An unresolved problem is the effective quantification of the extent of transmission using genetic variation data...
