A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

Trends in Mortality After the Roll‐Out of Directly Acting Antivirals for Hepatitis C in England Using Linked Surveillance Data

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Directly acting antivirals (DAAs) revolutionised hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, offering higher cure rates. We aimed to quantify life expectancy (LE) differences between treated and untreated individuals diagnosed with HCV and assess the contributions of age and causes of death to these differences.

Inhibition of HIV Type 1 Replication by Human T Lymphotropic Virus Types 1 and 2 Tax Proteins in Vitro [PDF]

AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 2013
Patients with HIV-1 and human T-lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) coinfections often exhibit a clinical course similar to that seen in HIV-1-infected individuals who are long-term nonprogressors. These findings have been attributed in part to the ability of HTLV-2 to activate production of antiviral chemokines and to downregulate the CCR5 coreceptor ...

Resistance to Fas-Mediated Apoptosis of Human T-Cell Lines Expressing Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type-2 (HTLV-2) Tax Protein

Virology, 2001
The susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis was evaluated in seven T-cell lines (two infected with HTLV-2, one with HTLV-1, and four HTLV-free) as well as in Jurkat cells transfected with a Tax-2 expressing vector. Fas-mediated apoptosis was significantly reduced in the HTLV-1- and HTLV-2-infected lines in comparison with the HTLV-free lines ...

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1388-1397, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

ORIGIN AND PREVALENCE OF HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS TYPE 1 (HTLV-1) AND TYPE 2 (HTLV-2) AMONG INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS IN THE AMERICAS [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2015
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is found in indigenous peoples of the Pacific Islands and the Americas, whereas type 2 (HTLV-2) is widely distributed among the indigenous peoples of the Americas, where it appears to be more prevalent than HTLV-1, and in some tribes of Central Africa.
