High prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus 2 (HTLV-2) infection in villages of the Xikrin tribe (Kayapo), Brazilian Amazon region. [PDF]
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 ...

Diagnostic utility and pitfalls of human T-lymphotropic virus serology in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma: evidence from a 25-year pathology-based nonendemic cohort. [PDF]
Abstract Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a distinct type of peripheral T‐cell lymphoma (PTCL) driven by human T‐lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐1)–infected T cells, but diagnosis can be confounded by histological overlap with non‐ATLL PTCL. While molecular testing is the diagnostic gold standard in endemic areas, HTLV‐1/2 serology is often ...

APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, and APOBEC3H Haplotype 2 Restrict Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 [PDF]
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 ...
