Editor’s summary
The authors present a clinical validation of a new RDT kit for malaria diagnosis called OnSite. The validation was performed in Bangladesh where both P. falciparum and P. vivax co-circulate. In this report, the authors compared the performance of the RDT with microscopy and nested PCR. They found high sensitivity and specificity for the kit in the detection of both species of Plasmodium.

Editor’s summary
Despite its effectiveness in various experimental systems, numerous recent studies have shown that the ability of A3G to combat HIV in the physiological setting is severely limited. In fact, it has become apparent that A3G's mutational activity may actually enhance viral fitness by accelerating HIV evolution towards the evasion of both anti-viral drugs and the immune system. Here the authors present an overview of recent data that bring to light historical overestimation of A3G's standing as a strictly anti-viral agent.
