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 ...

Phosphonated Carbocyclic 2'-Oxa-3'-azanucleosides as New Antiretroviral Agents [PDF]

, 2007
Phosphonated carbocyclic 2¢-oxa-3¢-azanucleosides have been synthesized and tested for their antiretroviral activity. The obtained results have shown that some of the compounds were as powerful as azydothymidine in inhibiting the reverse transcriptase ...

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 ...
