Seroprevalence of HTLV-1/2 among blood donors in the state of Maranhao, Brazil
Background: Infection with human T-lymphotropic virus 1 or 2 (HTLV-1/2) is a major health problem. There is a public health policy defining measures for state hematology and hemotherapy centers in Brazil, in order to avoid virus transmission through ...

Overview: Viral Agents and Cancer. [PDF]
Substantial evidence indicates that several common viruses are clearly or probable causal factors in the etiology of specific malignancies. These viruses either normally establish latency or can become persistent infections.

A gorilla reservoir for human T-lymphotropic virus type 4
Of the seven known species of human retroviruses only one, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 4 (HTLV-4), lacks a known animal reservoir. We report the largest screening for simian T-cell lymphotropic virus (STLV-4) to date in a wide range of captive ...

Cryo-EM structure of the deltaretroviral intasome in complex with the PP2A regulatory subunit B56γ
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a pathogenic deltaretrovirus. Here the authors resolve the cryo-EM structure of the deltaretroviral intasome in complex with the human host PP2A regulatory subunit.

Human T-lymphotropic virus and transfusion safety. Does one size fit all? [PDF]
Human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) are associated with a variety of human diseases, including some severe ones. Transfusion transmission of HTLV through cellular blood components is undeniable.

BACKGROUND: There is difficulty in gathering data on the prevalence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus in blood donors as confirmatory testing is not mandatory in Brazil. This suggests there may be an underreporting of the prevalence.

Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 uveitis. [PDF]
The human retroviruses, HTLV-I and HIV, are playing clinically important roles in a variety of ocular disorders, particularly in uveitis. Both viruses are integrated in the genome of infected T cells. HIV-I infection causes the death of the infected T cells, thereby affecting the host defence system and causing AIDS. Subsequent opportunistic infections
