Primate T-lymphotropic virus type I LTR sequence variation and its phylogenetic analysis: compatibility with an African origin of PTLV-I.

Virology - 1 Jul 1994

Vandamme A M, Liu H F, Goubau P, Desmyter J

Abstract excerpt

Due to the low evolutionary rate and the limited horizontal transmission of human T-lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I), its phylogenetic analysis reveals the movements and contacts of ancient populations. Since simian strains cannot be distinguished from human strains by phylogenetic criteria, this virus has appropriately been called primate T-lymphotropic virus type I (PTLV-I). We sequenced the LTR of six...
