Researchers at the University of Georgia have developed a model for evaluating a potential new strategy in the fight against drug-resistant diseases. The strategy would take advantage of parasite refugia--host populations that have not been treated with drugs, thereby serving as "safe zones" where parasites don't develop drug resistance.
