AB Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) has a worldwide
distribution; infection rates of up to 14% have been found in Aboriginal
communities, but there is little evidence of typical HTLV-I-associated
disease. The strains among Australian Aboriginals and Melanesians are
more closely related to each other at the molecular level than to
strains from Africa, Japan and the Caribbean basin. The clinical
significance of these Oceanic strains of HTLV-I in endemically infected
communities is unclear.
