Type 1 and type 2 human T-cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV1 and HTLV2) were the first retroviruses described, in 1979 and 1981, respectively [1]. HTLV1 and 2 viruses share 60% of their genomes [2]. Despite the fact that most individuals infected by these viruses remain asymptomatic throughout life, it is known that these agents are responsible for clinical neoplastic, inflammatory or degenerativ...

Retroviruses are commonly associated with neurological disease in animals, for example, inflammatory encephalomyelopathies of sheep (visna virus),' horses (equine infectious anaemia virus), goats (caprine encephalitis/arthritis virus)2 and mice (murine leukaemia virus).3 The first retrovirus shown to be pathogenic in humans was discovered by Gallo's group4 who demonstrated that human lymphotrop...
