Description
Five authors, led by Francisca Wong, track in 2025 tuberculosis among people born abroad across the Western Pacific region, from 2008 to 2023. Migration shapes the disease's spread and strains plans to end it. The team drew on world health and migrant stock data sets to size the burden.
Cases in foreign born people nearly doubled over the span, to over ten thousand a year. Three lands, Malaysia, Japan, and Australia, carried the largest counts in the last year. In Australia and New Zealand, foreign born cases made up near nine in ten notices. Most migrants came from high burden lands, the team notes.
