Seroepidemiology of adult T-cell leukemia virus in Taiwan.

A survey of carriers of adult T-cell leukemia virus (ATLV) detected as anti-ATLV associated antigens was made in Taiwan. Among 2545 adults aged 30 years or more examined, seropositive donors amounted to 0.9% in the Han Chinese but none in the aborigines.
