Evaluation of the immunochromatographic assay for HTLV-1/2 detection in Gabon: genotype-specific limitations in Central Africa [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
The human T lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) are highly endemic in sub-Saharan Africa but are largely unreported. This is due to limited knowledge of HTLV-1/2 infections and a lack of suitable facilities for systematic screening.
