The impact of LEDGIN-mediated retargeting of HIV integration on reactivation of latent HIV KU Leuven
Even after decades of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), a cure for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) through complete eradication of the virus remains an elusive goal. Viremia rebounds quickly if cART is interrupted. This is because HIV is a lentivirus that uses the viral proteins reverse transcriptase and integrase to stably integrate a provirus into the host cell genome, which leads to the existence of a latent HIV ...

Development of a novel strategy to control Drosophila suzukii using parasitoid species KU Leuven
Since a few years, Drosophila suzukii has become a major pest species in America and Europe. D.
suzukii infests thin-skinned fruits such as cherries, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries early
during the ripening stage by laying eggs in the maturing fruit. Subsequently, hatched larvae
destroy the fruit pulp through feeding, rendering infested fruits unmarketable. Because the
species has a broad host spectrum, a high ...
