prevalence and partial sequence analysis of human t cell lymphotropic virus type i in china.	a total of 145,293 serum samples were collected from volunteer blood donors in 13 provinces of china and tested for anti-htlv antibody using an elisa licensed in china. thirty were positive for anti-htlv by elisa and 19 of those 30 samples were confirmed positive using a supplemental immunoblot assay. anti-htlv-i was detected only in samples from fujian province (a southern province) where the positivity rate was approximately 0.05%. the region encoding gp46 from 5 of the 19 antibody positive sa ...	2005	15977241
[serological survey of human t lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-1) igg antibody in south region of xinjiang].	human t lymphotropic virus type-1 (htlv-1) is endemic in southwestern japan, seychelles islands, caribbean basin, brazil, and sub saharan africa. recently, the prevalence of htlv-1 of domestic source has been reported from beijing, fujian and so forth. the object of our study is to know whether the prevalence of htlv-1 is present in xinjiang. we collected 2642 serm samples of various ages and different nationalities (uigur, han and khalkhas) from south region of xinjiang and tested for determina ...	1997	15617250
[sero-epidemiological study on the human t-cell leukaemia virus type i/ii infection in the east coastal areas of fujian province].	to study the seroprevalence of human t-cell leukaemia virus type i/ii (htlv-i/ii) infection in adult population in the east coastal areas of fujian and to explore the possible risk factors of htlv-i/ii.	2004	15231172
nucleotide sequence analyses of partial envgp46 gene of human t-lymphotropic virus type i from inhabitants of fujian province in southeast china.	partial sequences from the env(gp46) gene of two human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) isolates (lin and wen) obtained from inhabitants of fujian province in southeast china were analyzed. a phylogenetic tree was constructed from these sequence data and those of other known htlv-i isolates from all over the world. comparisons of the lin and wen nucleotide sequences with other htlv-i isolates showed diversity ranging from 0.73 to 7.00% for lin and from 0.87 to 7.00% for wen. sequences of iso ...	2000	10875617
epidemiology of anti-human t-cell leukemia virus type i antibody and characteristics of adult t-cell leukemia in china.	we analyzed the data from seroepidemiologic survey of anti-htlv-i serum antibody (htlv-1 ab) and 16 adult cases of t-cell leukemia (atl) in china (1984-1994). the results showed that the positive rate of htlv-i ab of the population of china was 0.54%, the birth or residence places of htlv-i carriers and all the patients with atl were mainly distributed in the coastal provinces and the northeast china, and a small endemic area of htlv-i and atl was found in fujian province (htlv-i ab positive rat ...	1995	8728941
