Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three factors mentioned (social inequity, overcrowding, and exposure to infected livestock/wildlife) have been identified as contributing factors to the spread of tuberculosis. Social inequity can lead to poor access to healthcare, which can then lead to undiagnosed or untreated cases of TB. Overcrowding can facilitate the spread of the disease in indoor environments such as hospitals, prisons, and shelters. Exposure to infected livestock or wildlife can lead to zoonotic transmission of the disease. Therefore, all three factors can create favourable conditions for TB to spread.
