SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATIONS: HOW DO WE MEASURE THE RETURN ON RELATIONSHIPS?



No evidence for selection of HIV-1 with enhanced gag-protease or Nef function among breakthrough infections in the CAPRISA 004 tenofovir microbicide trial.

Use of antiretroviral-based microbicides for HIV-1 prophylaxis could introduce a transmission colts dog collar barrier that inadvertently facilitates the selection of fitter viral variants among incident infections.To investigate this, we assessed the in vitro function of gag-protease and nef sequences from participants who acquired HIV-1 during th

Review: Towards truly stall-free pork production?

The individual housing of sows and boars within stalls is still frequent in commercial pork production, especially when the risk for impaired reproduction or welfare is high.Whilst many countries have either removed stall housing in gestation or are working towards this through the successful adoption of group housing, stalls are still used around

The contribution of spatial analysis to understanding HIV/TB mortality in children: a structural equation modelling approach

Background: South Africa accounts for more than a sixth of the global population of people infected with HIV and TB, ranking her highest in HIV/TB co-infection worldwide.Remote areas often bear the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality, yet there are spatial differences within 20wm01snus rural settings.Objectives: The primary aim was to invest
