Diverse clusters can be identified within the HTLV-1a-TC subgroup. An alignment of LTR sequences (519-nt long) from 91 HTLV-1a-TC strains was obtained. Sequences from HTLV-1a-Jpn were used as outgroup. The phylogenetic tree was generated with the neighbor-joining method using the GTR model (gamma = 0.4953). Horizontal branch lengths are drawn to scale, with the bar indicating 0.01 nucleotide replacement per site. Values correspond to the approximate likelihood-ratio test for each clade
