HTLV in the Americas: challenges and perspectives El virus de la leucemia humana de células T (VLHT) en las Américas: retos y perspectivas
The first description of the human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was made in 1980, followed closely by the discovery of HTLV-2, in 1982. Since then, the main characteristics of these viruses, commonly referred to as HTLV-1/2, have been thoroughly studied. Central and South America and the Car...
