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 ...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 2 subtype b in a patient with chronic neurological disorder [PDF]
Journal of NeuroVirology, 2014 Human T-cell lymphotropic virus is a retrovirus described worldwide. There are four HTLV types: HTLV-1 to 4. Only HTLV-1 and 2 are linked to human disease. The majority of infected individuals remain asymptomatic. However, it is estimated that 5 % of HTLV-1-infected patients present a clinical neurological disorder called HTLV-1-associated myelopathy ...

Short Communication: Current Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated with Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 and Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 2 Infections Among HIV/AIDS Patients in São Paulo, Brazil [PDF]
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 2015 During the 1990s, high prevalences of HIV/human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and HIV/human T lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) coinfections were detected in São Paulo, Brazil in association with intravenous drug use (IDU). The current prevalences and risk factors for HIV/HTLV-1/-2 were evaluated in 1,608 patients attending the AIDS/STD ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020 Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Seroprevalence of HTLV-1/2 among blood donors in the state of Maranhao, Brazil
Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2014 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 ...

Human T-lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 are rare among intravenous drug users in Eastern Europe [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016 In Europe, human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type 2 mainly occurs among intravenous drug users (IDUs) with prevalence up to 15% and HTLV-1 among general population with prevalence

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023 IntroductionMigratory flows play a significant role in the spread of human T-lymphotropic virus 1/2 (HTLV-1/2). In the last decade, a substantial migration of individuals occurred from Haiti and Venezuela to Brazil. However, data on the prevalence of HTLV-1/2 infection among these international migrants in Brazil are scarce.
