Abstract
The present review draw a picture of the epidemiology of tuberculosis in Morocco since 1997 based on many national studies that have analysed; MTB population structure, by applying genetic approaches such as IS6110RFLP, spoligotyping and MIRUs-VNTR, with the goal of presenting the MTB genetic landscape in Morocco and the transmission dynamics of TB within the population. Overall, MTBC population structure in Morocco is almost clonal, highly homogeneous and stable. Importantly, a prospective genotyping program has to be set up to better evaluate the routes of infection and transmission of TB in Morocco.
