Recent epidemiology studies have demonstrated the presence of HTLV-I and its close relative, HTLV-II in several aboriginal populations in North, Central and South America but not in Canadian Indian populations. HTLV-II appears to be more prevalent than HTLV-I in aboriginal populations of the Americas. Recently several clinical cases of HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and a case of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) have been identified in British Columbian Indians. This data suggests that a new endemic area of HTLV-I infection may be present within British Columbian Indian population. However, it has recently been shown that HTLV-II may also be associated with a neurological disease similar to HAM/TSP.
