STRATEGIES TO SLOW EVOLUTION OF RESISTANT FORMS
Method of slowing evolution to pesticides and antibiotics Example

 
Reduce variation in a fitness-related trait
Overkill with multiple drugs Triple-drug therapy for AIDS
Use newer pesticides after applying older Pesticide pyramiding
Ensure full dosage Direct observation therapy for tuberdulosis
Reduce appearance of restant mutations Engineer RT gene of HIV-1
Reduce pest population Integrated pest management of resistant mutants
G.M. Crops - parasites Non-drug/pesticide treatments

 
Reduce directional selection
Vary antibiotic/pesticide over time Herbicide rotation
Vary antibiotic/pesticide over space Vary treatments in host population
Use non-chemical control Integrated pest management
Limit exposure to selection Withhold powerful drugs
Avoid broad-spectrum antibiotics Test for resistance before applying chemicals

 
Reduce heritability of a fitness-related trait
Dilute resistance alleles
Steril insects
Cultivate susceptable weeds
