Methods currently used by WHO to estimate TB incidence can be grouped into four major categories. Figure \ref{fig:incmethods} shows the distribution of countries according to the four categories:   \begin{itemize} \begin{ennumerate}  \item Case notification data combined with expert opinion about case detection gaps (120 countries in red in Figure \ref{fig:incmethods});  \item Results from national TB prevalence surveys (19 countries in blue);  \item Notifications in high-income countries adjusted by a standard factor to account for under-reporting and under-diagnosis (73 countries in green);  \item Capture recapture modelling (5 countries in purple).  \end{itemize} \end{ennumerate}
