“…Recently, they were observed in tissue specimens of human placenta (Kalter et al, 1973(Kalter et al, , 1975Vernon et al, 1974;Imamura et al, 1976;Dirksen & Levy, 1977) and were isolated in the United States and Japan from T lymphocytes of patients with Tcell leukaemia (Popovic et al, 1982).…”

“…HTLV has also been detected in patients from different parts of the world (11). Although the geographical and racial distributions of HTLV-i.e., HTLV-Iand ATL virus were quite different, these two viruses are closely related or identical (12)(13)(14). Another HTLV, HTLV-II, was isolated from a patient with hairy cell leukemia of T-cell origin (15).…”

“…In the late 1970s, Takatsuki and co-workers (Uchiyama et al, 1977) first described a clustering of ATL in certain regions of southern Japan which were later found to be endemic for HTLV-1. Gallo, Poiesz and co-workers first identified HTLV-I virions in a T-cell line established from a patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (Poiesz et al, 1980), and similar viruses from Japanese ATL patients were soon isolated from transformed T-cell lines , Japanese and American isolates of HTLV-I were subsequently found to be essentially the same (Popovic et al, 1982;Watanabe et al, 1984). Seroepidemiologic studies, restriction mapping, and sequencing of HTLV-I proviral isolates from around the world have since provided consistent evidence linking HTLV-I to ATL and HAMfTSP as well as to a spectrum of secondary diseases (Table 1).…”
