HTLV-1/-2 and HIV-1 Co-infections: Retroviral Interference On Host Immune Status
The human retroviruses HIV-1 and HTLV-1/HTLV-2 share similar routes of transmission but cause significantly different diseases. In this review we have outlined the immune mediated mechanisms by which HTLVs affect HIV-1 disease in co-infected hosts ...

The phylogeography of orangutan foamy viruses supports the theory of ancient repopulation of Sumatra [PDF]
Phylogenetic analysis of foamy virus sequences obtained from Bornean and Sumatran orangutans showed a distinct clustering pattern. One subcluster was represented by both Bornean and Sumatran orangutan simian foamy viruses (SFV). Combined analysis of host

Different HTLV-I Neutralization Patterns among Sera of Patients Infected with Cosmopolitan HTLV-I
To determine if sequence variations observed in cosmopolitan HTLV-I interfered with viral recognition by neutralizing antibodies, we evaluated the neutralization potential of sera from persons infected by HTLV-I of this clade selected for amino acid changes in their eny glycoproteins.
