title: Seroprevalence of human T-cell lymphotropic viruses types 1 and 2 antibodies in hepatitis C virus-positive patients: manitoba, Canada, 2012-2014.
abstract: Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses types 1 and 2 are probably among the most neglected blood-borne pathogens that have experienced significant changes in their epidemiology since discovery, which could be attributed to globalization and intravenous drug use practices as well as enhanced screening recommendations; however, systematic prevalence studies, especially in high-risk populations in North America, are not updated.
