Using more drugs is advantageous.
Bergstrom et al (2004)
Treatment Strategy Comparison Effect #1
pathogen experiencesless variable environment
Multiple First-Line Therapies
Bergstrom et al (2004)
Treatment Strategy Comparison Effect #2
mean fitness of pathogen population is depressed
2% res. 10% res.
resistance evolution is mucheasier for the parasite
Boni et al (2008)
Multiple First-Line Therapies
Advantages of Deploying MFT
1. Delays emergence of resistant strains.
2. Slows down spread of resistance.
3. Reduces clinical burden and failed treatments.
Biological Cost of Resistance
