Abstract
Maternal HTLV-1 proviral load and the route of delivery may have played a role in the transmission observed. Avoidance of breastfeeding was an effective measure to reduce HTLV transmission. In endemic countries, routine prenatal or neonatal screening combined with formula feeding for mothers confirmed HTLV-positive may be an important strategy to prevent future development of illnesses related to HTLV.
