Case studies from China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Indonesia, and other frontline countries demonstrate a wealth of information on clinical, cultural, socioeconomic, and other relevant factors. This compilation provides a valuable resource for creating successful intervention and prevention strategies. State-of-the-science snapshots pinpoint where short- and long-term initiatives stand today, from early detection and vaccination programs to new genetic technologies and drug therapies. This diverse group of perspectives and approaches offers innovative paths toward control and realistic odds for containing the threat, especially in the face of current co-epidemics and new drug-resistant strains.\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the topics in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnosis of tuberculosis: current pipeline, unmet needs, and new developments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcurrence of tuberculosis and other major diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe tuberculosis outbreak response, investigation, and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe promise of new TB vaccines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDNA fingerprintingof \u003ci\u003eMycobacterium tuberculosis\u003c\/i\u003e: a rich source of fundamental and daily applicable knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal tuberculosis surveillance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Global Tuberculosis Control\u003c\/i\u003e is urgent reading for leadership and staff of non-governmental organizations, government agencies, academic institutions, research centers, hospitals, and potentially businesses with interests in tuberculosis control.
