Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis is Associated With Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) Infection and Disease Progression to HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
Smart MedWe provide the first comprehensive analysis of changes in the gut bacteriome at different clinical stages of HTLV‐1 infection. HTLV‐1 infection is associated with a dysbiosis that includes reduced bacterial diversity and an inverted Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.

Analysis of an HTLV/HIV dual infection model with diffusion
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 In the literature, several HTLV-I and HIV single infections models with spatial dependence have been developed and analyzed. However, modeling HTLV/HIV dual infection with diffusion has not been studied. In this work we derive and investigate a PDE model
