To determine the molecular genetic relationship between Melanesian strains of human T-
lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) and cosmopolitan prototype HTLV-I, we amplified by PCR …

To determine the interstrain genomic diversity and molecular phylogeny of the recently
identified variants of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in Melanesia, we …

At least four, and possibly six, molecular subtypes of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I
(HTLV-I) exist: one is confined to Melanesia/Australia, one is ubiquitous, and the others are …

We report characterization of a human T-cell lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) isolated
from an interleukin 2-dependent CD8 T-cell line derived from peripheral blood mononuclear …

We report the characterization of a variant of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)
isolated from an interleukin 2-dependent, CD8+ T-cell line derived from peripheral blood …

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is associated with adult T-cell
leukemia/lymphoma and with a chronic degenerative myelopathy. However, another major …

Isolates of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) were phylogenetically analyzed from
native inhabitants in India and South America (Colombia and Chile) and from Ainu …

Strains of human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) isolated from T cell lines (SI-I, SI-3, and
SI-5) from three individuals in separate regions of the Solomon Islands were compared with …

A renewed interest in the emergence and evolution of the primate T-cell lymphotropic
viruses has followed the discovery of genetically distinct variants of human T-cell …

Publisher Summary Kuru is one of the better-known paradigms of “place diseases,” or
diseases occurring in high incidence in geographically restricted or delimited regions. From …
