The Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1)-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is clinically characterized by progressive lower extremity weakness, spasticity, and bladder/bowel sphincter dysfunction. The disease affects 0.25-3.8% of HTLV-1 infected adults, with a mean age at onset of 40-50 years, and a higher prevalence in women than men, with a roughly 3:1 r…
The Billings complex is the largest water-storage facility in São Paulo Metropolitan and indispensible resources for energy generation and water supply for about 5.4 million people. As such, the reservoir also exposed to significant pressure from anthropogenic activities, uncontrolled urbanization and inadequate sanitation infrastructure that cause serious quality degradation of surface w…
HIV-1 infection is known to exhibit tremendous genetic variation. Even within a single subject, the virus exists as a swarm of highly related but genetically diverse variants. Although much of these variations are derived from mutations introduced by the error prone reverse transcriptase, viral recombination contributes significantly in genetic evolution as well. In clinical practice, the…
The HTLV-1 was the first human retrovirus to be isolated and has been shown to cause a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations including adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraperesis (HAM/TSP). The latency period to induce ATLL can be extremely long (30 to 50 years), indicating that combination/cooperation of specific genetic and viral events ar…

HTLV-1 is etiologically associated with various disorders including adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-I Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP). The proviral load is an important biological marker for understanding the pathogenesis of the virus and for shedding light on whether or not the virus is correlated to disease progression. In this project, we aime…
The tremendous genetic variability of HIV has a direct impact on the development of molecular diagnostic tests and is a serious hurdle that confronts research in the development of a vaccine to counter the virus. It is therefore important to monitor the distribution and dynamics of HIV subtypes to avoid vaccination failure and a pitfall for molecular diagnostics The main objective of the …
