Global control of the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic remains poor, especially in high burden settings where ongoing transmission sustains the epidemic. In such settings, a significant amount of transmission takes place outside of the household and practical approaches to understanding transmission at a community level are needed. We introduce a novel multidisciplinary approach to identify and map potential TB transmission `hot spots' within high burden communities.
