Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a global public health emergency, with 10.8 million people reported with having TB disease and 1.25 million lives being lost in 2023 (global tuberculosis report 2024, World Health Organization 2024).
Despite progress, the world is not in track to end TB by 2030. While TB can affect anyone, special populations are more vulnerable to TB infection and disease. Special populations include children, people living with HIV, those suffering from malnutrition or diabetes mellitus, migrants, miners, prisoners and pregnant women, among others.
This Special Edition aims to provide a state-of-the-art summary of global knowledge on epidemiology and evidence-based interventions which have successfully served special populations and revamped efforts to end TB. We encourage the submission of papers from national programmes, communities affected by TB, researchers, scientists, public health practicitioners, clinicians and global health and laboratory experts.
