Human T-Lymphotropic Virus-1/2 Infection in Central Brazil Prisons: A Multicenter Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection is endemic in some group populations. Prisoners are at high risk of acquiring HTLV infection mainly due to the environment of closed penal institutions, socioeconomic conditions, and risk behaviors.

Human T lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2: a point of view [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2013 Reported at the beginning of the 1980s, Human T lymphotropic viruses type 1 and 2 (HTLV1, HTLV 2) were the first retroviruses to have been detected in human beings. HTLV 1 was isolated from adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and first described by Takatsuki et al. in Japan in 1976, as a malignancy that only affects T cells and only in adults(1, 2).

Clinical Outcome in Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 2 Carriers Following Organ Transplantation [PDF]
Transplantation Proceedings, 2021 Frequent and rapid development of myelopathy has been reported in individuals with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection following solid organ transplantation. There is no information regarding HTLV-2, a closely related virus that often infects injection drug users.This study includes a retrospective analysis of all consecutive organ ...

High prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus 2 (HTLV-2) infection in villages of the Xikrin tribe (Kayapo), Brazilian Amazon region. [PDF]
BMC Infect Dis, 2019 Studies have shown that the human T-lymphotropic virus 2 (HTLV-2) is endemic in several indigenous populations of the Brazilian Amazon and molecular analyses have shown the exclusive presence of HTLV-2 subtype 2c among the indigenous groups of this geographical region.The present study characterizes the prevalence of HTLV-2 infection in three new ...

APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, and APOBEC3H Haplotype 2 Restrict Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2012 ABSTRACT The human APOBEC3 family consists of seven cytidine deaminases (A3A to A3H), some of which display potent antiretroviral activity against HIV-1 and other retroviruses. Studies that analyzed the effect of A3G on human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infectivity resulted in conflicting findings, and our knowledge of ...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis in an HIV-Positive Patient Coinfected with Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 2 Following Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2007 We describe a patient coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T lymphotropic virus type 2 in Spain who developed paraparesis resembling human T lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis shortly after initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy, hypothetically as the result of an immune ...

Cellular tropism exhibited by human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and type 2 (HTLV-2) [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2011 Background HTLV-1 predominantly transforms CD4+T cells in vitro and induces leukemia and neurological disease in vivo, whereas HTLV-2 shows a preference for CD8+T cell transformation in vitro with limited in vivo pathology. To better understand cellular tropism of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 early after in vivo infection we determined proviral load and gene ...
