HTLV-1 and HTLV-2: highly similar viruses with distinct oncogenic properties [PDF]
HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 share broad similarities in their overall genetic organization and expression pattern, but they differ substantially in their pathogenic properties. This review outlines distinctive features of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 that might provide clues to explain their distinct clinical outcomes.

History of the discoveries of the first human retroviruses: HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 [PDF]
HTLV-1 was discovered in the US in 1979, and published in 1980. This was rapidly followed by four additional reports in early 1981 describing additional isolates, characterization of some of the HTLV-1 proteins, serological assays for specific antibodies indicative of HTLV-1 infection, and evidence for integrated DNA proviruses in infected cells.

Background The Deltaretrovirus genus comprises viruses that infect humans (HTLV), various simian species (STLV) and cattle (BLV). HTLV-I is the main causative agent in adult T-cell leukemia in endemic areas and some of the simian T-cell lymphotropic ...

HTLV-1, HTLV-2, and associated diseases
Abstract Human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV)-1 and HTLV-2 belong to the genus Deltaretrovirus of the family Retroviridae. They only infect humans, produce a lifelong infection, and can be transmitted from mother to child, through sexual intercourse, and via cellular blood components and organ transplantation.

The antisense protein of HTLV-2 positively modulates HIV-1 replication [PDF]
Unlike HTLV-1, HTLV-2 does not induce leukemia and has been tentatively associated with an HTLV-1-associated myelopathy-like disorder. It has been reported that HTLV-2/HIV-1 co-infected patients progress less rapidly to AIDS than HIV-1-infected individuals.

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.
