Notification rates for HIV and tuberculosis (TB) have increased in the Ukraine and particularly in Odessa. In 1962, the incidence of TB in Odessa region was 178 cases per 100,000 cases, declining to 73.0, 42.0 and 41.6 cases per 100,000 in 1972, 1982 and 1992, respectively. In 2002, TB incidence and prevalence were 80.4 and 330.1/100,000 population, respectively. TB mortality in the port almost doubled from 10.2/100,000 to 21.6/100,000 between 1990 and 2001. In 2002, the HIV incidence and prevalence and AIDS incidence and prevalence were 46.4 and 241.0 cases/100,000 population and 14.5/100,000 and 26.9/100,000, respectively. There are increasing numbers of TB cases co-infected with HIV (200 in 2002), suggesting that the HIV and TB epidemics are converging. Significant effort is needed for the effective control of these two outbreaks to prevent high levels of morbidity and mortality from these diseases.

In a 7-year population-based study in Malawi, we showed that Beijing genotype tuberculosis (TB) increased as a proportion of TB cases. All the Beijing genotype strains were fully drug sensitive. Contact histories, TB type, and case-fatality rates were similar for Beijing and non-Beijing genotype TB.

Current problems of molecular epidemiology of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains circulating in Samara Region, Russia are discussed. A total of 190 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were typed using two PCR-based molecular methods. The cultures were isolated from civil and prison patients with pulmonary tuberculosis recruited from different tuberculosis institutions across the Samara region. The usefulness of spoligotyping and 15-locii VNTR-MIRU was assessed for genotyping of Mycobacterium in population with high prevalence of Beijing strains (67.9%) using statistical analyses that included calculation of Hunter-Gaston index. The VNTR-MIRU method was demonstrated to be more efficient and was characterized by higher discrimination (index 0.747) compare to spoligotyping (index 0.572). VNTR-MIRU loci 10, 26, 31, 39, 40 and ETR-A were mostly polymorphic and therefore recommended for use in screening. It could be performed by manual electrophoresid, provided that automated sequencing is not available.

Much remains unknown of the phylogeny and evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an organism that kills 2 million people annually. Using a population-based approach that analyzes multiple loci around the chromosome, we demonstrate that neutral genetic variation in genes associated with antimicrobial drug resistance has sufficient variation to construct a robust phylogenetic tree for M. tuberculosis. The data describe a clonal population with a minimum of four distinct M. tuberculosis lineages, closely related to M. bovis. The lineages are strongly geographically associated. Nucleotide substitutions proven to cause drug resistance are distributed throughout the tree, whereas nonsynonymous base substitutions unrelated to drug resistance have a restricted distribution. The phylogenetic structure is concordant with all the previously described genotypic and phenotypic groupings of M. tuberculosis strains and provides a unifying framework for both epidemiologic and evolutionary analysis of M. tuberculosis populations.
