HIV-1 residual risk and pre-treatment drug resistance among blood donors: A sentinel surveillance from Gabon. [PDF]
Background Surveillance of HIV-1 pre-treatment drug resistance (PDR) is essential for ensuring the success of first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). Beside population-based surveys, sentinel surveillance of PDR and circulating HIV-1 clades in specific populations such as blood donors could efficiently inform decision-making on ART program.

Drug coverage in treatment of malaria and the consequences for resistance evolution--evidence from the use of sulphadoxine/pyrimethamine. [PDF]
BACKGROUND\ud \ud It is argued that, the efficacy of anti-malarials could be prolonged through policy-mediated reductions in drug pressure, but gathering evidence of the relationship between policy, treatment practice, drug pressure and the evolution of ...

Spread of anti-malarial drug resistance: mathematical model with implications for ACT drug policies. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Most malaria-endemic countries are implementing a change in anti-malarial drug policy to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). The impact of different drug choices and implementation strategies is uncertain.

HIV Drug Resistance among Pre-treatment Cases in Thailand: Four Rounds of Surveys during 2006-2013
In Thailand, antiretroviral therapy (ART) was initiated to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) cases using the empirical regimen with no prior genotypic test to determine drug resistance. In order to assess prevalence rate of HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) among pre-treatment cases, four rounds ...
