| high prevalence of serum antibody against human t cell leukemia virus type i (htlv-i) among the bismam asmat population (indonesian new guinea). | an unusually high prevalence (45%) of serum antibodies to human t cell leukemia virus type i (or to an antigenically related virus) in comparison with that observed against other viral pathogens (human immunodeficiency virus type 1, herpes simplex virus, human cytomegalovirus, varicella zoster virus, and respiratory syncytial virus) has been observed in a group of bismam asmat (papua) subjects, living in a very limited and geographically isolated area of indonesian new guinea. | 1989 | 2590558 |
| evidence for anti-plasmodium falciparum antibodies that cross-react with human t-lymphotropic virus type i proteins in a population in irian jaya, indonesia. | this study was performed to demonstrate the presence of anti-plasmodium falciparum antibodies in a population living in irian jaya, indonesia that cross-react with human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) proteins. serum samples from 63 volunteers living in oksibil, a secluded highland valley in irian jaya, were tested for anti-p. falciparum antibodies by an immunofluorescence assay and for anti-htlv-i antibodies by an enzyme immunoassay (eia). all samples were positive for anti-p. falciparum ... | 1994 | 7496910 |
| seroprevalence of human t-lymphotropic virus type 1 in papua new guinea and irian jaya measured using different western blot criteria. | endemic foci of htlv-1 carriers have been found in the world, however, the origin of htlv-1 in humans is still unclear. since a distinct type of virus strain was isolated from the solomon islands, detailed surveys on htlv-1 prevalence in new guinea are important to shed light on its history of dissemination. | 2000 | 10720817 |
| human t lymphotropic virus i in indonesia. very low seroprevalence in the jakarta area: antibodies in healthy blood donors and in various nonhematological diseases. | human t lymphotropic virus i (htlv-i) is a retrovirus associated with adult t cell leukemia/lymphoma, tropical spastic paraparesis and possibly with other diseases. the actual incidence of htlv-i carriers in asia and africa is difficult to assess and values of 0-37% have been reported. a study in papua new guinea by yamaguchi et al. [6]found 1.8% positive for antibody to htlv-i and this area is geographically close to the eastern part of indonesia. a collaborative study was carried out to establ ... | 2000 | 10971124 |
| prevalence of serum antibodies to human t lymphotropic virus-1 in an isolated tribe in the highlands of irian jaya, indonesia. | there have been several recent reports on the high prevalence of serum antibodies to human t lymphotropic virus-1 (htlv-1) in isolated populations residing in the coastal areas and highlands of papua new guinea. in the absence of significant cases of clinical disease, it has been surmised that this reactivity might be the consequence of serologic recognition of yet undefined human retroviruses or parasite antigens. these observations prompted an investigation of the prevalence of anti-htlv-1 ant ... | 1993 | 8447528 |
