Imported viral haemorrhagic fever with a potential for person-to-person transmission: review and recommendations for initial management of a suspected case in Belgium Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Viral genetic variation accounts for a third of variability in HIV-1 set-point viral load in Europe Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
HIV-1 set-point viral load-the approximately stable value of viraemia in the first years of chronic infection-is a strong predictor of clinical outcome and is highly variable across infected individuals. To better understand HIV-1 pathogenesis and the evolution of the viral population, we must quantify the heritability of set-point viral load, which is the fraction of variation in this phenotype attributable to viral genetic variation. ...
Have the explosive HIV epidemics in Sub-Saharan Africa been driven by higher community viral load? [letter] Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Control of viral replication after cessation of HAART Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
We describe two patients who did not experience a viral rebound after cessation of HAART which was initiated for progressive disease. CD4 T-cell count remained stable in one patient and progressively declined in the other, despite apparent viral control. We failed to identify any immune activation or genetic markers that could offer an explanation for this unusual 'secondary controller' status. But their viruses are clearly less fit compared to ...
