Guide to the Application of Genotyping to Tuberculosis Prevention and Control

Acknowledgments

The contents of this guide represent the dedication and hard work of our TB control community. Numerous people, despite having limited resources and working overtime on numerous competing projects, have contributed to the multiple tasks involved in bringing material of this complexity together into what we hope is a coherent whole. The editors gratefully acknowledge each contributor. We also acknowledge and thank Angie Weaver and Rachel Wilson for their excellent editorial contributions to the guide.
