    AIDS 13:2541-6. 1999
    ..To study the effect of the interruption of reverse transriptase inhibitor (RTI) therapy or a switch from RTI to protease inhibitors, on the genotypic drug-resistance pattern of plasma HIV-1...

    Chris Verhofstede
    AIDS Reference Laboratory, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
    J Virol 77:3050-7. 2003
    ..Phylogenetic tree topologies argue against selection processes as the major mechanism driving mother-to-child transmission but support the hypothesis that virus variability is mainly driven by the inoculum level and/or exposure time...

    L Stuyver
    Innogenetics N V, Ghent, Belgium
    Antimicrob Agents Chemother 41:284-91. 1997
    ..When combined with changes in viral load and CD4+ T-cell count, this LiPA approach proved to be useful in studying genetic resistance in follow-up samples from antiretroviral agent-treated HIV-1-infected individuals...
