The epidemiology of dual HIV infection in the KwaZulu-Natal Anti-Retroviral Roll-out Programme.
(2007)
KwaZulu-Natal has the highest prevalence of HIV in South Africa. The prevalence of dual infection in a normal-risk population in this region is unknown. Dual HIV infection has important implications for diagnosis, treatment ...
The development, optimisation and comparison of various virological assays and their uses in antiviral assessment of compounds wih potential anti-HIV activity.
(2009)
The development and optimization of anti-viral screening methods are essential to develop
newer more effective, treatments against HIV.
The XTT method is a widely described method for antiviral screening. Both continuous ...
Molecular characterization of HIV-1 Subtype C strains from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, with a special emphasis on viral fitness and drug resistance.
(2004)
As South Africa begins its National HIV-1 treatment program, it is urgent that we collect data that will help define the phylogenetic relationships, transmissibility and drug responsiveness of C viruses. In this thesis, ...
Clinical and epidemiological aspects of HIV and Hepatitis C virus co-infection in KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
(2008)
HIV is known to affect the epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis and natural history of HCV infection whilst studies on the effects of HCV on HIV have shown conflicting results and are confounded by the influence of ...
Molecular characterisation of endogenous loci related to jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus.
(2007)
The study of retroviruses has been of pivotal significance to the field of biomedical
science, where it has provided fundamental insights into the processes underlying both
viral and non-viral carcinogenesis. Ovine ...
An investigation into the serological and molecular diagnosis of Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus (JSRV)
(2005)
The Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus (JSRV), an exogenous type B/D-retrovirus with about 10-15 endogenous counterparts in all normal sheep genomes, causes Jaagsiekte (JS) or ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA), a contagious ...
GB Virus C / Hepatitis G Virus (GBV-C/HGV) infection in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa : its diagnosis, distribution and molecular epidemiology.
(2003)
Recently a new Flavivirus, GB Virus C also referred to as Hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) was identified in humans with indeterminate hepatitis . Whilst in non-African countries this discovery led to an enormous enthusiasm ...
