RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

Absence of HTLV‐II Co‐infection in HTLV‐I‐associated Myelopathy Patients [PDF]
Syncytium inhibition assay to distinguish between HTLV‐I and HTLV‐II infection was performed with sera and cerebrospinal fluid of 15 HTLV‐I‐associated myelopathy (HAM) patients. Also, genome analysis of HTLV‐II proviral DNA was performed in some HAM patients by use of the polymerase chain reaction method.

While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.
