Viruses of different geographical origin are circulating in Finland. We wanted to test whether phylogenetic analysis of patient lymphocyte proviral quasispecies sequences could be used to group different strains into genetic lineages. The gag p7/p9 coding region was analyzed using solid-phase direct sequencing from 30 patients in Finland and Estonia. Proviral sequences were found to represent at least four,...
