Comments. 1  Can you please tell me why the Brussels sprouts I grew last year did not get very high and the fruit was poor. 2  My brussel sprouts leaves are dieing but the stalk has lots of sprouts does this cause poor development of sprouts. 3  I had great plants with no sprouts. 4  I have very small pea sized sprouts on my plants .
diseases similar to HIV. ...The HTLV-I virus and HIV are transmitted the same way, and infect the same cells of the body. However HTLV-I does not cause AIDS ! Instead, HTLV-I causes a rare form of leukemia and also causes specific types of neurological problems.
The human T-cell lymphotropic viruses type I and type II (HTLV-I/II) are closely related but distinct retroviruses that can. infect humans. These viruses have nothing to do with HIV or AIDS. HTLV-I and HTLV-II viruses infect specific cells in the. body known as lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. White blood cells are involved in the immune response and help. the body fight infection.
