The Asia-Pacific is home to 60% of the global burden of tuberculosis and an increasing proportion of Australia's immigrant population. Although most targets relating to this disease are likely to be achieved, patterns of tuberculosis transmission in the Asia-Pacific are not fully understood and the possibility of regional hotspots exists. We aim to use mathematical techniques to examine the way in which tuberculosis is transmitted from person to person in populations within our region.

亚太地区占全球结核病负担的60%，澳大利亚移民人口的比例也在不断增加。虽然与这种疾病有关的大多数目标可能实现，但结核病在亚太地区的传播模式尚不完全清楚，存在区域热点的可能性。我们的目标是使用数学技术来检查结核病在我们区域内人群中人与人之间传播的方式。
