title: Filariasis and malaria sera from Orissa lack HTLV-III antibody reactivity.
abstract: Reports exist indicating a correlation between seropositivity for human T-lymphotrophic virus (HTLV) antibodies and certain parasitic infections in some parts of the world. In 274 filariasis and 119 malaria sera examined from Orissa, none was reactive in a test for anti-HTLV-III antibodies.
