HTLV-I is closely related to HTLV-II (60% of their genomes are identical). Type II: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which may cause diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma (but this has not been proven). HTLV-II is closely related to HTLV I (60% of their genomes are identical). Type III: An obsolete term for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Acronym: HTLV (09 Oct 1997) |
