Danaviah, S.; Govender, S.; Cassol, Sharon (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2007-07)Approximately 2 million South Africans are HIV/TB coinfected, and many develop skeletal disease. The resurgence of spinal tuberculosis, including atypical forms, is due largely to HIV-associated immune suppression. We ...

Microbial translocation : a marker of advanced HIV-1 infection and a predictor of treatment failure? Cassol, Edana; Rossouw, Theresa M.; Seebregts, Christopher J.; Cassol, Sharon (University of Chicago Press, 2011-03-01)We agree that the issue of whether microbial translocation (MT) is a cause or consequence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) disease progression is an important question that can only be addressed through ...

Cassol, Sharon; Gordon, Michelle; De Oliveira, Tulio; Bishop, Karen; Coovadia, H.M.; Madurai, L.; Engelbrecht, Susan; Janse van Rensburg, Estrelita; Mosam, A.; Smith, A. (American Society for Microbiology, 2003-02)The KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa is experiencing an explosive outbreak of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Subtype C infections. Understanding the genetic diversity of C viruses and the biological ...

Cassol, Sharon; Zur Megede, Jan; Engelbrecht, Susan; De Oliveira, Tulio; Scriba, Thomas Jens; Janse van Rensburg, Estrelita; Barnett, Susan W. (Mary Ann Liebert, 2002-11)Understanding the origin, distribution, and evolving dominance of HIV-1 subtype C strains is an important component in the design and evaluation of a globally effective AIDS vaccine. To better understand subtype C viruses, ...

Cassol, Edana; Malfeld, Susan; Mahasha, Phetole; Van der Merwe, Schalk Willem; Cassol, Sharon; Seebregts, Christopher J.; Alfano, Massimo; Poli, Guido; Rossouw, Theresa M. (University of Chicago Press, 2010-07)BACKROUND: Microbial translocation contributes to immune activation and disease progression during chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. However, its role in the African AIDS epidemic remains c ...

Manasa, Justen; Katzenstein, David; Cassol, Sharon; Newell, Marie-Louise; De Oliveira, Tulio (Mary Ann Liebert, 2012)HIV-1 transmitted drug resistance (TDR) could reverse the gains of antiretroviral rollout. To ensure that current first-line therapies remain effective, TDR levels in recently infected treatment-naive patients need to be ...

Cassol, Sharon; De Oliveira, Tulio; Engelbrecht, Susan; Janse van Rensburg, Estrelita; Gordon, Michelle; Bishop, Karen; Zur Megede, Jan; Barnett, Susan W. (American Society for Microbiology, 2003-09)Naturally occurring polymorphisms in the protease of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)subtype C would be expected to lead to adaptive (compensatory) changes in protease cleavage sites. To test this hypothesis, ...
