• Description: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a complex leukemogenic retrovirus with a single-stranded positive sense RNA genome that expresses unique proteins with oncogenic potential. There are four known strains of HTLV, of which HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 are the most prevalent worldwide. HTLV-1 was originally identified in 1980 in a T-cell line derived from a patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (Hinuma et al., 1981) and was also detected in adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patients (Yoshida et al., 1982; Kalyanaraman et al., 1982). Subsequently, HTLV-2 was identified in a cell line derived from a patient with a variant form of hairy T-cell leukemia (Saxon et al., 1978a,b; Boxus et al., 2008). Since then, HTLV-2 has not been associated with leukemia/lymphoma; nevertheless, it has been associated with a few sporadic cases of neurological disorders.
