Targeted screening for HTLV-1 infection in endemic and non-endemic regions: a global public health priority

Integration of HTLV-1 testing into antenatal care, sexual health services, and specialty clinics is feasible. Broader recognition of HTLV-1 will be essential to reducing the global burden of this neglected infection.
