Three related, but very different, retroviruses have recently been identified in man. Human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV) type I apparently causes adult T-cell leukaemia. HTLV type II has been isolated only rarely and has not been identified with a disease. HTLV type III is very likely the causative agent in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
最近在人类中发现了三种相关但截然不同的逆转录病毒。I型人类T细胞白血病病毒（HTLV）显然会引发成人T细胞白血病。II型HTLV仅很少被分离出来，且尚未确定与某种疾病相关。III型HTLV极有可能是获得性免疫缺陷综合征的病原体。
