An Overview of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Lung Injury [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Previous studies have demonstrated the development of pulmonary impairment in individuals infected with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Complications, such as alveolitis and bronchiectasis, were found in individuals who developed tropical ...

Human T-Lymphotropic virus type 1 and human immunodeficiency virus co-infection in rural Gabon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 IntroductionHuman T-cell lymphotrophic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) co-infection occur in many populations. People living with HIV-1 and infected with HTLV-1 seem more likely to progress rapidly towards AIDS. Both HTLV-1

Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects [PDF]
Viruses, 2016 Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1): Molecular Biology and Oncogenesis [PDF]
Viruses, 2010 Human T lymphotropic viruses (HTLVs) are complex deltaretroviruses that do not contain a proto-oncogene in their genome, yet are capable of transforming primary T lymphocytes both in vitro and in vivo.

Origin of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 in Rural Côte d’Ivoire
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Simian T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (STLV-1) strains occasionally infect humans. However, the frequency of such infections is unknown. We show that direct transmission of STLV-1 from nonhuman primates to humans may be responsible for a substantial ...
