Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma in French Guiana (1990–2019): Epidemiology, clinical features, and HTLV‐1 genetic diversity in the two main ethnic populations

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1528-1540, 15 March 2026.
What's new? Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy caused by human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‐1). The authors comprehensively analyzed the epidemiological and clinical features of ATL over a 30‐year period in French Guiana, a region with high HTLV‐1 endemicity and a multiethnic population.

Familial clusters of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
HTLV-1 proviral loads (PVLs) and some genetic factors are reported to be associated with the development of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). However, there are very few reports on HAM/TSP having family history.

Viral Pathogens and Pulmonary Fibrosis: EMT‐Driven Mechanisms and Insights From Traditional Chinese Medicine

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious progressive complication of the respiratory system, which is profoundly associated with persistent extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, fibrosis, and disrupted tissue regeneration. Emerging evidence shows that epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) acts as a key factor in the pathogenesis of ...

Synaptic Plasticity and Neurological Disorders in Neurotropic Viral Infections [PDF]

, 2015
Based on the type of cells or tissues they tend to harbor or attack, many of the viruses are characterized. But, in case of neurotropic viruses, it is not possible to classify them based on their tropism because many of them are not primarily neurotropic.

Is the innate bio-protection power against human virus the same between males and females? A conclusion based on blood donor data of HTLV-I infection [PDF]

, 2008
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus that causes adult T-cell leukemia. The male-to-female transmission is stronger than the reverse, so the carrier proportion of women is greater than that of men.

HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a progressive disease of the CNS that causes weakness or paralysis of the legs, lower back pain and urinary symptoms. HAM/TSP was first described in Jamaica in the nineteenth century, but the aetiology of the condition, infection with the retrovirus ...
