TI  - Tracing the origin of Brazilian HTLV-1 as determined by analysis of host and 
      viral genes.
PG  - 780-2
AB  - We compared the genetic diversity of the Brazilian human T-cell lymphotropic 
      virus type 1 isolates with those found in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, and 
      with the genetic background of the hosts. The seroprevalence rate in KZN was 
      1.7%. All sequences belonged to the A subgroup. The presence of South African 
      sequences in two different clusters from Brazil, and the finding of the 
      beta-globin haplotype in infected hosts are consistent with the transmission of 
      this virus from southern Africa to Brazil.
