✦ Synopsis
We present a modelling approach for transmission and population dynamics of human T-cell lymphotropic-virus-type4 (HTLV-I) infection. A steady-state analysis of the model was used to estimate transmission rates for males and females. The rate of heterosexual transmission was 2.7 times higher if the carrier was male. A dynamic transmission model was developed

## Abstract A human T‐cell line producing human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‐1), MT‐2, was injected intravenously into female F344 rats aged 5 weeks to make HTLV‐1 carrier rats. Antibody against HTLV‐1 was detected at the 5th week after MT‐2 injection, and its titer reached a high plateau whi
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection in humans causes a chronic infection of CD4 + T cells, and is associated with various disease outcomes, among them with the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). The T-cell dynamics after HTLV-I infection can be described in a mathemati
