Demographic characteristics of the donors.
Fig 2.
The geographic distribution of HTLV-1 infected donors among Fujian province.
The prevalence of HTLV-1 in each city and its 95% CI was showed as 1 / 100,000.

Phylogenetic tree constructed using HTLV-I gp46 sequences by neighbor-joining with Maximum Composite Likelihood corrected distances.
Support for the branching order was determined by 1000 bootstrap replicates; only values of 70% or more are shown. For 27 new sequences of this study, 25 sequences of transcontinental subtype were indicated by red (sequences from donors born in Fujian) or purple (sequences from donors born in Non-Fujian province) dots, and 2 sequences of Japanese subtype were indicated by blue dots. FJ, Fujian province; NFJ, Non-Fujian province; FZ, Fuzhou city; XM, Xiamen city; PT, Putian city; QZ, Quanzhou city; ZZ, Zhangzhou city; LY, Longyan; NP, Nanping city; SM, Sanming city; ND, Ningde city.
