Human T-lymphotropic retrovirus type-1 (HTLV-1) and its distribution in Asian populations

T Ishida. Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 1995.

Abstract

Distribution of human T-lymphotropic retrovirus type1 (HTLV-1) among Asian populations is reviewed from an anthropological point of view. The incidence of HTLV-1 infection among New Mongoloid and Indo-Aryan populations was quite low. There were no close phylogenetic relations among HTLV-1 endemic populations. HTLV-1 has been retained among peoples who have been isolated and/or depended on a primitive mode of living.
