HTLV infection in Brazil’s second-largest indigenous reserve
Human T-lymphotropic viruses 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) have a worldwide distribution. HTLV-1 has been associated with several diseases, including an aggressive malignant disease known as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and a chronic inflammatory neurological ...

Clonality and intracellular polyploidy in virus evolution and pathogenesis [PDF]
In the present article we examine clonality in virus evolution. Most viruses retain an active recombination machinery as a potential means to initiate new levels of genetic exploration that go beyond those attainable solely by point mutations.

Co-infections of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and either human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) or type 2 (HTLV-2) have been described as having an impact on HCV viremia and subsequent disease progression.

IntroductionUnderstanding of human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) remains largely based on epidemiologic and clinical data from endemic areas. Globalization has resulted in migration of persons living with HTLV (PLHTLV) from endemic to non-endemic areas ...

Upregulation of HTLV‐1 and HTLV‐2 expression by HIV‐1 in vitro [PDF]
AbstractCo‐infections with HIV‐1 and the human T leukemia virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1, HTLV‐2) occur frequently, particularly in large metropolitan areas where injection drug use is a shared mode of transmission. Recent evidence suggests that HIV‐HTLV co‐infections are associated with upregulated HTLV‐1/2 virus expression and disease. An in vitro model

The discovery of the first human retrovirus: HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 [PDF]
AbstractI describe here the history leading up to and including my laboratory's discovery of the first human retrovirus, HTLV-I, and its close relative, HTLV-II. My efforts were inspired by early work showing a retroviral etiology for leukemias in various animals, including non-human primates.

HIGHLIGHTS ON DISTINCTIVE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF HTLV TAX PROTEINS.
Human T-cell Leukemia Viruses (HTLVs) are complex human retroviruses of the Deltaretrovirus genus. Four types have been identified thus far, with HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 much more prevalent than HTLV-3 or -4 .
