Abstract:
As one of the major public health challenges globally, tuberculosis requires epidemiological research for its control and prevention. With the advent of the big data era, machine learning has advantages over traditional methods in handling complex, high-dimensional datasets and providing accurate predictive results. This paper introduces the application of machine learning in the discovery and diagnosis of tuberculosis cases, risk factor analysis, predictive modeling, and evaluation of intervention strategies, providing new means for more in-depth exploration of the value in tuberculosis epidemiological research.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
