Abstract excerpt

Three major types of HTLV-1 had been proposed, the Melanesian type, the Zairian type, and the cosmopolitan type, which was further divided into subtypes A, B and C, according to the phylogenetic tree constructed from LTR sequences of current HTLV-isolates. In this study, the envelope gene sequenc...
