Globally, the rates of decline in tuberculosis (TB) incidence are disappointing, but in line with model predictions regarding the likely impact of the DOTS strategy. Here, we review evidence from basic epidemiology, molecular epidemiology and modelling, all of which suggest that, in high-burden settings, the majority of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission may occur in indoor congregate settings. We argue that mass environmental modifications in these places might have a significant impact on TB control and suggest a research agenda that might inform interventions of this nature. The necessary technology exists and, critically, implementation would not be dependent on health care workers who are in short supply in the communities worst affected by TB.
