HTLV-3 is: a former name for the human immunodeficiency virus (now known as HIV). now the name of a different virus, the human T-lymphotrophic virus type 3

1999年2月24日 · HTLV-III is an outdated term for HIV-1. In the very early years of the AIDS epidemic, scientists were looking for the cause of the disease. Different scientists discovered viruses that were ...

2023年7月4日 · Human T Cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV) are a family of retroviruses. Currently, four types of this virus have been identified which are known to infect humans with a pathological consequence: HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HTLV-3, and HTLV-4. These viruses are known for their oncogenic potential as well as etiology in other disease processes.

In 2005, we, and others reported the discovery of the human homolog (HTLV-3) of STLV-3 in two asymptomatic inhabitants from South Cameroon whose sera exhibited HTLV indeterminate serologies.

STLV-3 viruses belong to the third PTLV type and are equally divergent from both HTLV-1 and HTLV-2. They are endemic in several monkey species that live in West, Central and East Africa. In 2005, we, and others reported the discovery of the human homolog (HTLV-3) of STLV-3 in two asymptomatic inhabitants from South Cameroon whose sera exhibited ...

2025年1月9日 · Human T-lymphotropic virus type 3 (HTLV-3) is a lesser-known member of the HTLV family, which includes viruses linked to significant health issues. Understanding HTLV-3 is important due to its potential implications for human health, particularly in terms of transmission and immune response.

Human T-cell Leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and type 2 (HTLV-2) are pathogenic retroviruses that infect humans and cause severe hematological and neurological diseases. Both viruses have simian counterparts (STLV-1 and STLV-2). STLV-3 belongs to a third group of lymphotropic viruses which infect numerous African monkeys species.

1984年11月15日 · PIP: Several converging lines of research have linked a human T-cell lymphotropic retrovirus, human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III), to the pathogenesis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This article traces the basic research that led to this finding and outlines possible clinical implications of this new information.

The human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) was the first retrovirus identified, even before the human immunodeficiency virus (initially called HTLV-3).

STLV-3 viruses belong to the third PTLV type and are equally divergent from HTLV-1 than from HTLV-2. They are endemic in several monkey species that live in West, Central, and East Africa. In 2005, we and others reported the discovery of the human homolog (HTLV-3) of STLV-3 in two asymptomatic inhabitants from South Cameroon whose sera ...
