The outcome of chronic infections is highly variable. The heterogeneous disease outcomes in natural populations differ from genetically homogeneous infection models. Here, we use tuberculosis as a 'case study' to contrast the genetic landscape in natural populations with standard infection models, discussing new strategies to bridge this gap.
