Tubercular Epidemiology in the Tropics

Tubercular epidemiology in the tropics refers to the study of how tuberculosis (TB) spreads and affects populations in tropical regions. Factors such as high population density, poverty, and limited healthcare access contribute to TB's prevalence in these areas. The warm climate can also facilitate the transmission of the bacteria. High rates of HIV and other conditions that weaken the immune system further increase TB's impact. Efforts to control TB involve improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing awareness, and promoting vaccination and treatment, all essential for reducing the disease's burden in these communities.
