Abstract
The target for TB elimination is to reduce annual incidence to less than
one case per million population by 2050. Meeting that target requires a
1,000-fold reduction in incidence in little more than 35 years. This can
be achieved only by combining the effective treatment of active TB—
early case detection and high cure rates to interrupt transmission—
with methods to prevent new infections and to neutralize existing latent
infections. Vigorous implementation of the WHO Stop TB Strategy
is needed to achieve the former, facilitated by the effective supply of,
and demand for, health services. The latter calls for new technology,
including biomarkers of TB risk, diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines. An
important milestone en route to elimination will be reached when there
is less than 1 TB death per 100,000 population, marking entry into the
elimination phase. This landmark can be reached by many countries
within 1–2 decades.

TB elimination:
Reduction to less than
one case of TB per

year
The vision of the Stop TB Partnership and
the World Health Organization (WHO) is
a tuberculosis (TB)-free world (49), but the
internationally agreed target for TB elimination presents a formidable challenge. We must
reduce annual incidence to less than one case
per million worldwide by 2050 (14, 49, 51).

Compared with the present estimate of 1,280
cases/million in 2010, the incidence rate must
be cut by a factor of more than one thousand.
Approximately 9 million new TB cases in 2010
must be limited to fewer than 9,000 among the
9 billion people expected to be alive in 2050.
To meet this target, the incidence rate must fall
at an average of 20% annually between 2015
and 2050 (Figure 1a). That rate of decline

Recent and projected trends in (a) global TB incidence (cases) and (b) global TB mortality (deaths).
(a) Assuming that present trends continue until the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target year
2015, the incidence rate must fall at 20% per year on average from 2015 to achieve elimination by 2050,
much faster than the maximum of 10% per year that was achieved in Europe after 1950. If the present
decline of 2% per year continues beyond 2015, the incidence rate will still be 1000 times greater than the
elimination threshold by 2050. (b) Globally, case fatality was 15% in 2010, and the death rate was falling at
5% per year. To reduce case fatality to a minimum of 5% by 2050, mortality must fall at 12% per year from
2015 onward. To reach one death per million in 2050, mortality must be reduced more quickly: by 14% per
year from 2015 onward. Scales on the vertical axes are log10 .

has never been achieved on any geographical
scale for any period of time and is not possible
globally with the present suite of tools and
systems for their delivery.
Eliminating TB by 2050 requires two things:
immediate optimization of TB control with the
technology we already have, and the concurrent development of a more potent armory of
diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines. Furthermore,
the effective use of technology—contemporary
and forthcoming—depends critically on the
supply of, and demand for, health services.
As control programs are implemented more
vigorously, TB mortality will fall more quickly
than incidence because drug treatment rapidly
reduces case fatality in addition to the number
of future cases. With or without new technology and the means of delivering it, we expect
most countries to enter the elimination phase,
reporting fewer than 10 deaths per million
population (<1/100,000) well before 2050
(Figure 1b). How soon that milestone can be
reached is in the hands of the global TB control
community.
Within that outline, the challenges and
opportunities facing a TB elimination campaign are laid out in the following sections.
The next section describes the magnitude of
the problem we now face: the burden of cases
and deaths around the world. This section also
summarizes progress made under the WHO
Stop TB Strategy (32), guided by the Global
Plan to Stop TB (51), toward the 2015 target
defined by the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) (44). Having set
the scene, the third section gives an overview
of how elimination could be achieved in
principle, making use of the interventions
and procedures available now and anticipating
new technologies in the future. The fourth
section then applies these principles to four
countries with contrasting TB epidemics:
South Africa, India, China, and the United
States. Finally, melding principles and practice,
the concluding section considers the prospects
for elimination during the course of this
century.
GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION IN
DISEASE BURDEN AND TRENDS
In 2010, the WHO African region (mainly subSaharan Africa) had by far the highest incidence
rate (256 per 100,000 population) among the
six WHO regions of the world, but the more
populous countries of Asia carried the largest
numbers of cases (Figure 2; see Supplemental
Material. Follow the Supplemental Material
link from the Annual Reviews home page at
http://www.annualreviews.org). The Southeast Asian and Western Pacific Regions together accounted for more than half (58%) of
the global total (5.2 million out of 8.8 million
cases), mostly among the inhabitants of India,
China, Indonesia, and Bangladesh (49). Among
the 1.4 million TB deaths in 2010 (including those among people infected with HIV),
the largest numbers were in Southeast Asia
(558,000) and Africa (507,000).
The global TB epidemic is on the threshold
of decline, albeit a slow decline. The incidence
rate per capita was growing during the 1990s
but stabilized during the decade 2000–2010 and
may now be falling (1–2% per year). This technically satisfies the target for reducing incidence
under MDG 6, although the potential rates of
decline are much faster (49) (Figure 1a). The
total number of new TB cases arising each year
stabilized later than did the rate per capita because those countries most heavily affected by
TB still have growing populations.
This rather static picture of the global
epidemic close to its peak conceals much
variation in the dynamics of TB among regions
(Figure 2). Although the burden of disease
is carried predominantly by Asian countries,
global trends have been determined by events
in Africa and, to a lesser extent, Eastern
Europe. The countries of sub-Saharan Africa
and the former Soviet Union showed the most
striking increases in caseload during the 1990s,
owing to the spread of HIV in Africa (10) and
to the collapse of health and health care in
the Soviet Union, respectively (9, 43). These
rises offset the slow decline in case numbers
in other parts of the world between 1996 and

Pacific (>2% per year) regions.
The majority of countries reported slow declines in the number of cases per capita between
1996 and 2010, but there were marked international differences (Supplemental Figure 1).
Over the past decade, few countries have
achieved the 5–10% annual rates of decline
comparable with those seen in postwar Western Europe (Figure 3a) and in some rapidly
developing Asian countries (e.g., the Republic
of Korea; Figure 3b). National and regional
trends in TB deaths partly reflect the trends
in cases, although mortality can change more
quickly than incidence depending on the success of drug treatment in reducing case fatality
(Figure 3c,d; global decline 5–6% per year).
In short, regionally and globally in 2010, incidence and mortality were falling more slowly
than were the maximum rates of decline feasible

with current technology and much more slowly
than the rates of decline needed for elimination
(Figure 1).
ELIMINATION IN PRINCIPLE
Because elimination, and the impact of the tools
needed to achieve it, is beyond the experience of
any TB control program, we use mathematical
modeling to make new inferences from a synthesis of established facts. Illustrated with numerical examples, this section aims to outline
the general principles of elimination; the next
section applies these principles to four epidemiologically different countries. Our main conclusions concern order-of-magnitude changes in
numbers of cases and deaths, which are robust
to the choice of examples and the uncertainties
in the calculations.
We begin with a general model of a typical,
poorly controlled epidemic in a high-burden
country. The structural and quantitative
characteristics of the model have a heritage in

previous analytical studies of TB (13, 41, 45;
see Supplemental Material) and are briefly
summarized as follows. In the example in
Figure 4, incidence is stable at 1,100 cases per
million per year with 200 deaths and a case
fatality rate of 16% (close to global averages
of these indicators). Of the 1,100 cases, the
majority (73%) arise from recent infection: 800
from first or primary infections and 90 from
reinfection, with a mean time from infection to
disease of 1.5 years. Some 140 cases come from
the reactivation of latent infection (incidence
500 per million infected per year), and 70
come from relapse after treatment (Supplemental Figure 2a). The lifetime risk of TB
following infection is 16%, within the bounds
of previous analyses (13, 46). Each infectious
case (550/1,100) infects 12 others in an episode
lasting about a year on average (0.94 years),
generating an annual risk of infection of 0.64%.
We assume that incidence is amplified by a
risk factor similar to diabetes (21) or tobacco
smoking (25, 35), which doubles the proportion
of new infections that lead to primary TB,

by increased diagnostic accuracy and treatment
outcomes, and by a reduction in case fatality.
Any improvements in case management will
bring clinical and epidemiological benefits, but
our purpose here is to investigate what must be
done to reduce incidence by more than three orders of magnitude (>1000-fold). For example,
if, by early case finding coupled with high diagnostic accuracy and high cure rates, the number
of infections transmitted by each case could be
reduced from 12 to 3, cutting the duration of
infectious TB from one year to 3 months, incidence would fall from 1,100 per million to
130 per million by 2050 (6% per year on average; Figure 4a). Given that 73% of cases
were due to recent infection before the intervention, and allowing for the extra benefits of
reducing transmission over several decades, this

doubles the rate of progression from latent to
active TB, and affects 20% of the population.
Under this scenario, one-third of cases (34%)
arise in the population at risk. The basic case
reproduction number (2, 11), R0 , of the system
is 2.4 in the absence of any intervention, but the
use of drugs—65% of cases arising each year
are detected and 70% are cured—brings R0
down to unity in the steady state prior to 2015.
An improved control program that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of active
disease—the dominant intervention in the Stop
TB Strategy—can cut the number of transmitted infections further by early case detection,

Strategies for (a) eliminating TB (<1 case per
million per year) and (b) approaching the
elimination phase (<10 deaths per million per year
or <1 death per 100,000 per year) in a hypothetical
high-incidence country with a poorly controlled
epidemic (65% case detection, 70% cure) and an
initial, stable incidence of 1,100 cases and 200
deaths per million per year, close to the global
average in 2010. [1] Improvements in the treatment
of active TB (earlier case detection, higher
diagnostic sensitivity, and higher treatment success)
can reduce incidence by a factor of roughly 10, but
not by a factor of 100 or 1,000. More effective
treatment of active TB could move an epidemic into
the elimination phase, with fewer than 10 deaths per
million per year. [2] Vaccination to prevent
infection could also reduce incidence by a factor of
about 10. However, unlike drug treatment,
vaccination has no direct effect on case fatality.
[3] Mitigation of risk factors will contribute to TB
control but will play a small part in an elimination
campaign. [4] Making further reductions in
incidence and mortality requires a drug or vaccine to
neutralize latent infection. [5] Very low incidence
rates approaching 1 per million can be achieved only
by treating both latent infection and active TB;
these interventions work synergistically in
combination. Scales on the vertical axes are log10 .
Further details are given in the Supplemental
Material. (Follow the Supplemental Material link

88% or 8.5-fold reduction in incidence accords
with expectation. This reduction in incidence is
close to the best that could be achieved by 2050
through early case detection and effective treatment, whether the intervention is introduced
quickly or slowly. Even if transmission were interrupted completely and instantly in 2015, reactivation and relapse of old infections would
still generate more than 100 cases per million
population in 2050 (Figure 4a).
The same result could be obtained by a
control method that interrupts transmission,
not at the source by using TB drug treatment
but by preventing infection in the rest of the
population (Figure 4a). The instrument might
be infection control on a small scale [e.g., in
clinics and hospitals (48)] or a hypothetical
preinfection vaccine on a larger scale (54). By
whatever means it is achieved, the protection of
25% of uninfected people against TB each year
would, like drug treatment above, cut incidence
to 130 per million by 2050. A combination of
preinfection vaccination, even at high levels of
effectiveness, with the treatment of active TB
would not do much better and could not force
incidence down to 100 per million by 2050.
The similar impact of better case management
and preinfection immunization shown in
Figure 4a (overlapping lines) is not coincidental. It happens because both interventions
interrupt transmission. If one can be done
well, there is little to be gained from doing the
other.
With these dramatic drug- or vaccineinduced reductions in the number of infections
transmitted by each case, the basic reproduction number falls well below the threshold for
persistence (R0 = 0.23 < 1 in the example of
drug treatment), and TB is ultimately doomed
to extinction. The problem is that incidence
falls very slowly because long-living people with
long-standing viable infections generate new
cases by reactivation and relapse over decades
(Supplemental Figure 2a).
To force case incidence down more quickly,
we must not only cut transmission but also neutralize the reservoir of latent infection, both
among people who have not yet suffered an
episode of TB and among those who have recovered from illness but who still carry live
bacilli. One way to do this is by mitigating risk
factors, such as diabetes or tobacco smoking.
Tobacco control and diabetes management will
certainly help reduce the risk of TB, but they
will not play a large part in an elimination campaign. In the example shown in Figure 4a,
an extremely ambitious mitigation program,
by which, each year, 25% of at-risk people
have their risk removed completely, would only
halve incidence by 2050 (to 510 per million).
Achieving TB elimination requires a direct
attack on the reservoir of latent infection, with
a drug or a vaccine (or both) that is effective
against established infection. For instance, if
just 8% of people infected with M. tuberculosis
are fully and permanently protected each
year, incidence would fall to 90 per million by
2050 with no other intervention. Protecting
14% per year would cut incidence to 20 per
million by 2050 (Figure 4a). Combining these
interventions with the drug treatment program
proposed above would achieve elimination
by cutting the number of cases that arise via
all four etiological pathways (Supplemental
Figure 2b), reducing overall incidence to 1 per
million by 2050 (Figure 4a).
This combined assault on transmitted and
latent infections is synergistic (15). In these
examples, incidence in 2050 is 3.5 times lower
than it would be if the two interventions acted
independently. Consequently, elimination
should be carried out not as a sequential, twostep process—first interrupt transmission and
then remove the latent reservoir—but rather
as a simultaneous attack on two components of
the M. tuberculosis life cycle.
As case incidence falls in response to control
efforts, so too does mortality, but the number
of deaths averted depends on the type of intervention (Figure 4b). Whereas the treatment of
active TB reduced incidence 8.5-fold by 2050
(Figure 4a), it cut mortality by a factor of more
than 30 to 5 per million. This is because, in
addition to the reduction in incidence, case fatality dropped from 16% to 5%. A case fatality
rate of 5% can be achieved on a large scale, as

Geographical distribution of TB death rates per million population (including HIV-infected cases) for 165 countries. Some 35
countries with populations exceeding 100,000 were in the elimination phase in 2010, having less than 1 death per 100,000 (or <10
deaths per million). Estimates from the WHO (49). See also Supplemental Figure 2. (Follow the Supplemental Material link from
the Annual Reviews home page at http://www.annualreviews.org.)
reported from the United States in 2010. The
general point, however, is that, in the absence of
complications such as high rates of HIV coinfection or drug resistance, reducing mortality
to less than 10 per million (<1 per 100,000)
by 2050 appears feasible, even for high-burden
countries. For this reason, we define a TB
mortality rate of 10 per million per year (1 per
100,000 per year) as the point of entry to the
TB elimination phase, a milestone en route to
the true elimination target of 1 case per million
per year. Using current estimates of mortality,
47 countries and territories are already in the
elimination phase (5 with populations greater
than 100,000), another 22 countries are close
(mortality 10–19 per million), and 38 have
mortality rates of 20–49 per million (Figure 5;
see Supplemental Material).
Notice in Figure 4b that neither preinfection vaccination nor the treatment of latent infection (with a drug or a vaccine) is as immediately effective as the treatment of active TB
in reducing mortality because these approaches
278
Dye et al.
have no effect on case fatality. By contrast, the
combined treatment of active and latent TB
profoundly reduces the number of TB deaths.
PATHWAYS TO ELIMINATION
Because the burden of TB and the characteristics of TB epidemics vary enormously
among countries, so too will the pathways
to elimination. Using a more detailed mathematical model tailored to the epidemics in
four contrasting countries (see Supplemental
Material), we now illustrate the spectrum of
challenges and opportunities faced by national
TB control programs. From the largest to the
smallest numbers of cases and deaths per capita
the countries are South Africa, India, China,
and the United States.
South Africa
South Africa has the highest per capita
incidence of TB among the WHO’s 22

high-burden countries, approaching 1% (9,800
per million) in 2010, with 60% of cases being
HIV-positive (Figure 6a). The combined
mortality rate among HIV-positive and HIVnegative TB cases was 0.2% (2,180 per million;
Figure 6b). The calculations in Figure 6
assume that HIV incidence is falling at 3% per
year from 2010 onward. A more rapid decline,
if that can be achieved by HIV/AIDS control
programs, would also lower the numbers of
TB cases and deaths. Widespread coverage of
antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-positive
people at risk for TB (40% receiving ART in
2010, rising to 80% in 2050) would reduce
incidence, but not greatly because the efficacy
of ART in preventing TB per unit time (67%)
is offset by a reduction (50%) in the mortality
rate, which extends the number of life-years at
risk of TB.
Substantially reducing incidence and mortality requires two major interventions. First,
transmission must be interrupted by improved
case management: that is, by early case detection, accurate diagnosis, and a high cure rate
on treatment. For illustration, Figures 6a and
b show the effect of linearly reducing the number of infections transmitted per infectious case
from 11 in 2010 [annual risk of infection (ARI)
4%] to half that value in 2030. The incidence
rate drops fourfold (by 3.7% per year on average) and the mortality rate eightfold (5.1% per
year) by 2050. However, that still leaves more
than 2,000 cases and more than 300 deaths per
million in 2050 (Figure 6a,b).
Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) for HIVpositive people is already recommended, in addition to ART, by the WHO. If IPT could
be scaled up (from zero coverage in 2025 to
75% in 2035), or the equivalent effect achieved
with a putative postinfection vaccine, incidence
would fall to 1,400 cases per million, and mortality would fall to 200 deaths per million by
2050. Similar reductions in incidence and mortality could be obtained with a hypothetical
preinfection vaccine (given to people infected
with neither HIV nor TB), introduced in 2025
and protecting 70% of uninfected people by
2050.
In sum, although the technological developments of the coming decades are unpredictable,
it is inconceivable that South Africa can reduce
incidence 10,000-fold to eliminate TB by
2050. However, a tenfold reduction (i.e., a
reduction of 90%) in cases and deaths appears
to be within reach.
India
The current, slow declines in incidence (1–2%
per year) and mortality (3–4% per year) rates
(Figure 6c,d) are attributable mainly to the persistent transmission of infection. In 2010, each
infectious case transmitted an estimated 11 infections to others, generating an ARI of 1.5%.
If enhanced case management in both public
and private clinics could halve the number of
infections transmitted by each case by 2030, incidence would fall to ∼400 cases per million and
deaths would fall to 40 per million in 2050. A
significant obstacle to elimination in all countries, illustrated here for India, is relapse from
the growing population of “cured” cases (assumed to be 1% per year), without which incidence and mortality would fall more quickly
(Figure 6c,d).
Elimination by 2050 in India is not unimaginable, but it requires far more than improved
case management. Most effectively, India would
need mass preventive therapy, both for infected
people to prevent first episodes of TB and for
cured cases to prevent relapse. The treatment
could be a drug or a new postinfection vaccine.
By using preventive therapy from 2025 onward
(scaling up linearly over 10 years to protect onethird of eligible people by 2030 and everyone
eligible by 2050), incidence could be reduced
to 1 case per million by 2050 and deaths could
be reduced to fewer than 10 per million (entry
into the elimination phase) by 2035. However,
whereas IPT for HIV-infected people in South
Africa is already recommended (along with
ART), mass preventive therapy in India, largely
for HIV-uninfected people, would be a radical
departure from current practice.

those who are most at risk of progressing
from subclinical to active TB, plus short drug
regimens (three months or less) that are safe
and that can eliminate latent infection. As in
South Africa, vaccination preinfection would
be an aid to control, but with modest impact by
2050 if efficacious only in uninfected people (an
estimated one-third of the Indian population
in 2010).

China
TB case and death rates are lower in China than
in India and falling a little more quickly (annual
rate of change in incidence 3% and mortality
7% in 2010). Even so, China will not eliminate
TB by 2050 through enhanced case management alone (Figure 6e). Indeed, because the
risk of infection in China is lower than in
India (cf. Supplemental Figures 8 and 9), a
smaller proportion of cases can be prevented by
interrupting transmission. Enhanced case management in China is likely to have more visible
effects on prevalence and mortality (Figure 6f )
than on incidence (Figure 6e), as observed during the 2010 national prevalence survey (52).
China should reach the elimination phase well
before 2050 (Figure 6f ), but elimination per
se is a far greater challenge. Immunization with
a hypothetical preinfection vaccine—another
means of interrupting transmission—would
not help much. Thus China, like India, would
need to carry out mass preventive therapy,
with either drugs or vaccines, to meet the
elimination target by mid-century.
United States
The United States is already well into the
elimination phase. In 2010, there was ∼1 death
per million in the American-born population
and 10 deaths per million in the foreign-born
population, with 2 deaths per million overall
(Figure 6h).
The rate of decline in incidence in the
foreign-born population (3.9% per year, 2000–
2010) has been slower than among people born
in the United States (6.2% per year, 2000–2010,
slower than during the 1990s; Figure 6g). TB
among immigrants made up 60% of all cases
in 2010 and, therefore, substantially slowed the
rate of decline in the population overall. If the
trend in the American-born population is maintained, TB will be eliminated in that group
around 2050 (Figure 6g). The best estimate of
the elimination year obtained in the thorough
analysis of Hill et al. (19) was 2056. Clearly, with
additional effort given to interrupting transmission, and/or wider coverage of preventive
therapy, elimination could be achieved in the
American-born population before 2050 (19).
The prognosis for TB control among the
foreign-born population depends, in part, on
the fraction of cases that arise from transmission within the United States rather than from
imported infections. To obtain the result in
Figure 6g, we have simply assumed that all
cases among the foreign-born population are
from imported infections and that the rate
of decline observed between 2000 and 2009
will persist. Under these circumstances, there
will still be 40 cases per million in 2050. In

based on the data available for each country, except for the United States, in which cases and deaths are as reported by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The downward trends in cases (left panels) and deaths (right panels) can be accelerated by
antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected people; enhanced case management through early case detection, accurate diagnosis, and high
cure rate (with or without relapse); treatment of latent infection (preventive therapy for people with subclinical or asymptomatic
infection, using a drug or vaccine); and the prevention of infection (infection control or vaccination). Scales on the vertical axes are
log10 . The horizontal dotted lines in d and f mark the point of entry to the elimination phase (10 deaths per million per year), which is
off the scales in b and h. In g and h, data and projections for the United States distinguish American-born from all foreign-born cases.
The numbers of reported cases and deaths for both groups are given by the CDC (5). Projections are based on model fits from the year
2000 onward; since then, decline has been slower than during the 1990s. Death rates for each group are estimated by assuming that case
fatality (deaths/cases) is the same for American- and foreign-born cases.

contrast, Hill et al. assumed, more realistically,
that infection is transmitted between the
American-born and foreign-born populations,
and they forecast 70–100 cases per million
in 2050. Whatever the exact proportions of
cases attributable to domestically acquired
versus imported infections, and whatever
combination of treatments for latent and active
TB is used in the United States from now
on, TB is unlikely to be eliminated from the
foreign-born population by 2050.
CONCLUSIONS
TB cannot be eliminated globally by 2050 with
the technology, procedures, and services we
have today. In our assessment, this projection is
not principally because there are powerful adverse forces, such as widespread tobacco smoking and the rise of diabetes, counteracting the
positive effects of drug treatment programs.
Rather it is because the efficacy of current tools
and the supply and demand of health services
are not sufficient to combat a disease in which
infectious cases arise insidiously from a large
reservoir of infection. Our general model of
TB control in a typical highly endemic country, generating 1,100 cases per million in 2010
(Figure 4), shows that even if transmission were
completely interrupted by 2015, reactivation
and relapse would still generate more than 100
cases per million in 2050.
In view of the elimination target of 1 case
per million in 2050, this is a dispiriting outlook. But it needs to be kept in perspective in
two regards. First, the elimination target set
by the TB control community was extremely
ambitious, demanding a 1,000-fold reduction
in incidence. A tenfold or 90% reduction by
2050 is feasible in most countries, especially
if TB control is carried out on a background
of social and economic development (26), and
would be a remarkable achievement. Coupled
with reductions in case fatality, the mortality
rate could be reduced to below 10 per million
(or <1 per 100,000), here defined as the point
of entry to the elimination phase. Thirty-five
countries with populations exceeding 100,000
282
Dye et al.
have already achieved that goal, a further 52
such countries have fewer than 50 deaths per
million population, and more could reach that
target within 1–2 decades.
Second, notwithstanding the limitations of
present technology, the pathway to elimination is conceptually clear. The principal task
in global TB control now is to detect cases
earlier, diagnose them accurately, and achieve
high cure rates. This is especially true for highincidence countries (say, >1000 cases per million per year), where the majority of cases still
come from recent infections (rapidly progressing primary infections or reinfections). We
have said little in this article about the supply of,
and demand for, health services, and yet both
are fundamental to the success of TB control.
On the supply side, a new generation of molecular diagnostics based on nucleic acid amplification has increased the accuracy of diagnosis and shortened the delay between diagnosis
and effective treatment, especially in cutting out
weeks of mycobacterial culture to identify drugresistant cases. However, these new diagnostics
have not yet brought TB diagnosis to the “point
of care,” so as to reduce the infectious period
significantly before first contact with health services (7, 28, 30, 36, 38, 47). The length of that
period depends on the demand for TB diagnosis and treatment, which is a function mainly
of health awareness, and on the quality of general health services because patients typically
present with undifferentiated symptoms such as
prolonged cough.
Where a high fraction of TB cases is
also infected with HIV, as in South Africa,
preventive treatment for HIV-positive people,
with both ART and antituberculosis drugs
(isoniazid and others), is vital in addition to
improved case management. Indeed, HIV testing is an entry point not only for prophylaxis
(ART, isoniazid) but is also a means of actively
seeking HIV-positive TB cases. The WHO
has already defined feasible mechanisms for
delivering integrated TB and HIV services.
The three purposes are to initiate early antiretroviral therapy, to reduce the burden of
TB in HIV-positive people, and to reduce the
Annu. Rev. Public. Health. 2013.34:271-286. Downloaded from www.annualreviews.org
by Dr Christopher Dye on 03/21/13. For personal use only.
burden of HIV in patients with presumptive
and diagnosed TB (50). The challenge is to
ensure wide access to all these interventions.
In contrast, for high-burden countries
where the prevalence of HIV is low (<1%),
China and India among them, early case detection will have to be supplemented with mass
preventive therapy for infected people. Preventive therapy for HIV-negative people cannot
yet be carried out on a large scale, mainly because those who are not ill and at low risk of TB
are generally unwilling to take a drug daily for
nine months (8, 12). New three-month drug
regimens (24, 37) are likely to be part of the
solution to this problem. But their widespread
use will still require biomarkers that identify
who is carrying a viable infection and who is
most at risk of progressing to active TB (22,
27, 42), founded on a better understanding of
the mechanism of latency (3, 4, 16, 53, 55). It
seems likely that, to be effective, three-month
(or shorter) regimens must be able to kill bacteria that have low growth rates and those that undergo occasional growth spurts (sterilizing), in
addition to killing those with high growth rates
(bactericidal) (24). Otherwise the risk of reactivation will persist after prophylactic treatment
has been completed.
Our analysis of the prospects for TB elimination in the United States, which builds on
that of Hill et al. (19), highlights the challenges
faced by countries that have low incidence
and mortality rates and which are already in
the elimination phase. To achieve very low
incidence rates in the entire population, these
countries must maintain low transmission
rates and ideally prevent TB arising from old
infections in the native-born population. In addition, however, they must prevent TB arising
from imported infections in the foreign-born
population (33). Because the majority of TB
cases occur among immigrants—reflecting the
number of immigrants and the incidence rates
in their countries of origin—TB is unlikely to
be eliminated from the whole population by
2050. This projection underscores the point
that, in today’s highly interconnected world,
elimination in any country depends on effective
TB control in every country (34).
In the drive toward elimination, vaccines
may become an alternative, or at least an
adjunct, to drug treatment (23, 29). The new
wave of investment in vaccine research and
development is expected to deliver a better
vaccine than BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin
vaccine) (56), although the efficacy and mode
of action of a putative new vaccine are not
yet known. A safe and efficacious vaccine that
can neutralize existing (latent) infection could
bypass the problem of inventing a biomarker to
identify those eligible for preventive therapy. A
vaccine that can be given to uninfected people
(preventing infection or at least halting the
progression of infection before it causes symptomatic TB) would complement the treatment
of active disease in reducing transmission.
Ideally, of course, a new vaccine would be
efficacious pre- and postinfection (1).
Beyond 2015, TB control will no longer
be carried out within the context of the
MDGs but within a new UN framework, as
yet undefined, that may be oriented toward
sustainable development. Health in general,
and TB in particular, must appear prominently
on the agenda (31). To maintain visibility in
the post-MDG world, those concerned with
TB control need to set clear and ambitious
goals, with defined milestones and measurable
indicators, so as to track progress toward the
natural end point: elimination.
SUMMARY POINTS
1. The internationally agreed target for TB elimination is to reduce annual incidence to
less than one case per million population by 2050.
www.annualreviews.org • Tuberculosis Elimination
283
2. Meeting this target requires a 1,000-fold reduction in incidence in little more than
35 years, corresponding to a 20% annual decline from 2015 onward.
3. The target will not be reached with the technology and procedures we have today.
The new technologies needed include biomarkers of TB risk, diagnostics, drugs, and
vaccines. New procedures must be devised to accelerate the supply of, and demand for,
health services.
4. Entry to the elimination phase, where there are fewer than 10 deaths per million population (or fewer than 1 per 100,000), is an important milestone for TB elimination
campaigns, globally and nationally.

5. Thirty-five countries and territories with populations exceeding 100,000 are already in
the elimination phase. By reducing case incidence and case fatality simultaneously, many
more countries could reach that milestone within 1–2 decades.
6. For countries that still have very high incidence rates, the immediate focus must be
on enhanced case management, leading to the elimination phase, and as a precursor to
elimination per se.
7. In South Africa, where incidence is ≈1% per year (10,000 times the elimination target),
the priorities are enhanced case management and the prevention of TB among people
infected with HIV. For high-burden countries where the prevalence of HIV is low (<1%),
China and India among them, early case detection must be supplemented by the treatment
of latent infection in the HIV-negative population to have any chance of eliminating TB
by mid-century.
8. Countries that are already in the elimination phase, such as the United States and countries in Western Europe, must maintain low transmission rates and ideally prevent TB
arising from the reactivation of old infections in the native-born population. But they
must also prevent TB arising from imported infections in the foreign-born population,
which typically account for the majority of cases. In today’s highly interconnected world,
elimination in any country depends on effective TB control in every country.
