Discussion of HIV treatment outcomes in LMICs has historically been neglected, even though it is in these countries that a cure is most crucial. This series covers the ways treatment outcomes can be improved along the way to a HIV cure in states defined as LMICs by the WHO.

Cross-journal collection
This collection focuses on emerging infectious diseases in humans and animals, including the impact of antimicrobial resistance, and brings together research that investigates the relationship between spatial inequalities of all kinds and the impact and prevalence of these infectious diseases. This collection also welcomes papers that seek solutions towards disease control across areas with particularly unequal distribution of resources and opportunities.

Current projects address how the varied manifestations and consequences of CMV infection arise from the infection of very few cells – evaluating the roles of immune activation, CMV burden and NK cells in healthy aging donors, HIV patients and renal transplant recipients. Recent studies in collaboration with Dr Silvia Lee address the potential of γδ T-cells to mediate the effects of CMV on cardiovascular and neurocognitive health. The group are now studying variations in HCMV-encoded homologues of immune-related genes in clinical samples.
