AB  - Studies on human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I (HTLV-I) and II (HTLV-II) are 
      briefly reviewed from the viewpoint of molecular evolution, with special 
      reference to the evolutionary rate and evolutionary relationships among these 
      viruses. In particular, it appears that, in contrast to the low level of 
      variability of HTLV-I among different isolates, individual isolates form 
      quasispecies structures. Elucidating the mechanisms connecting these two 
      phenomena will be one of the future problems in the study of the molecular 
      evolution of HTLV-I and HTLV-II.
