Abstract excerpt

To clarify the route of human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) transmission, we sequenced three proviral genome regions (gag, env, int) of HTLV-1 from 18 carriers in 7 families in Okinawa, Japan and compared the strains with isolates from other countries. The nucleotide substitution frequency among sequences derived from a single carrier was low; 0-0.24% in gag, 0-0.54% in env, and 0-0.34% in int. All...
