World Tuberculosis Day 2016
In recognition of World TB Day 2016, whose theme this year is "United to End Tuberculosis", we have set up this channel to ask scientists to help us raise awareness about how tuberculosis has shaped humanity in the past and continues to be a major public health threat today.
Mtb has been residing in human lungs for forever – probably since humans have been a thing - (don’t cite me on this, but it seems like mummies are always being found to have TB) and yet this bacterium is still widespread.
