Popis: We previously reported a strikingly high prevalence of ocular diseases in HTLV-I infected patients in Guadeloupe (Caribbean basin). We sequenced the surface envelope encoding region of 7 HTLV-I proviruses from guadeloupean patients (5 with sicca syndrome, 2 with TSP/HAM). No relation between sequence and disease was observed. These 7 sequences are the first described from Guadeloupe.
