Driving HIV-1 into a Vulnerable Corner by Taking Advantage of Viral Adaptation and Evolution.

abstract：:Africa, Asia, and Latin America are regions highly affected by endemic diseases, such as Leishmaniasis, Malaria, and Chagas' disease. They are responsible for the death of 1000s of patients every year, as there is not yet a cure for them and the drugs used are inefficient against the pathogenic parasites. During the l...
