Abstract excerpt

In this review, the origin and evolution of the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) are discussed, with particular emphasis on its high genomic stability. In particular, it appears that the virus originated in the African continent and has been infecting human populations for several thousands of years. The very low divergence accumulated on average between different viral strains during such a long...
