#2 Barbara---I found this WHO site that had quite a bit of good info on TB. Here are the regions reported TB incidence and mortality (all forms) for 2002:

Africa 2.4 million 26%
The Americas .4 million 4%
Eastern Med 0.6 million 7%
Europe 0.5 million 5%
SE asia 2.9 million 33%
Western pacific 2.1 million 24%

As you can see it seems to relate to sanitation or lack thereof and population density.
