Do you have any information on the results from this study? https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00284687. The study looked at the affect artusunate had on CMV. The CUSP 9 paper mentioned Artusunate was effective against CMV. If this is indeed correct, then it might be a far less expensive approach to CMV than valcyte.

I've not seen results for this particular trial, but if you go to pubmed and search for cytomegalovirus and artesunate you'll find several pages of studies, mostly in vitro.
