Researchers have developed a new model to simulate the spread of latent tuberculosis within a radiation-exposed Mars colony. The model links galactic cosmic radiation to immune competence, which in turn affects the reactivation of tuberculosis and its airborne transmission within the confined habitat. Simulations indicate that tuberculosis can emerge endogenously, and adaptive control strategies involving isolation and medication can effectively reduce the disease burden and mortality. AI
