  • Title: Is the prevalence of HTLV-1 infection higher in Strongyloides carriers than in non-carriers?
    Author: Arakaki T, Asato R, Ikeshiro T, Sakiyama K, Iwanaga M.
    Journal: Trop Med Parasitol; 1992 Sep; 43(3):199-200. PubMed ID: 1470843.
    Abstract:
    To assess the concomitance of strongyloidiasis and HTLV-1 infection, an epidemiological survey was conducted in Okinawa, Japan, using the agar-plate culture, a highly sensitive method for detection of Strongyloides stercoralis. No significant difference in the positive rate of anti-HTLV-1 antibody was found between Strongyloides carriers and non-carriers. This result suggests that these two infections occur independently.
