Abstract excerpt
In the past few years, numerous investigators have demonstrated that human T cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type I (HTLV-I) possesses a great genetic stability, and recent data indicate that viral amplification via clonal expansion of infected cells, rather than by reverse transcription, could explain this remarkable genetic stability. In parallel, the molecular epidemiology of HTLV-I proviruses showed that the few...
