Distribution of human T-lymphotropic retrovirus type1 (HTLV-1) among Asian populations is reviewed from an anthropological point of view. The incidence of HTLV-1 infection among New Mongoloid and Indo-Aryan populations was quite low. There were no close phylogenetic relations among HTLV-1 endemic populations. HTLV-1 has been retained among peoples who have been isolated and/or depended on a primitive mode of living.
从人类学角度综述了人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒1型（HTLV-1）在亚洲人群中的分布情况。新蒙古人种和印度-雅利安人群中HTLV-1感染的发生率相当低。HTLV-1流行地区之间没有密切的系统发育关系。HTLV-1在那些一直处于隔离状态和/或依赖原始生活方式的人群中留存了下来。
