哈佛医学院的研究揭示了结核病风险与共同的家乡相关性，有可能改善预防和治疗策略。 Harvard Medical School study reveals TB risk correlation with shared hometowns, potentially improving prevention and treatment strategies.

哈佛医学院发表在《自然微生物学》上的一项研究表明，某些结核菌株在数百或数千年的时间里与特定的人群共同进化。 A Harvard Medical School study in Nature Microbiology shows that certain TB strains co-evolved with specific human populations over hundreds or thousands of years. 研究发现，暴露个体的结核病风险取决于细菌和人是否共享一个家乡。 The study found that TB risk for exposed individuals depends on whether the bacteria and person share a hometown. 这种地理联系可能导致改进结核病的预防和治疗战略，结核病每年影响1 000多万人，在全世界造成100多万人死亡。 This geographic connection may lead to improved prevention and treatment strategies for tuberculosis, which affects over 10 million people annually and causes over a million deaths worldwide.
