Abstract

HTLV1 antibodies were tested in a group of 740 Ethiopian immigrants who arrived in Israel in Operation Solomon, 1991. HTLV1 antibodies were not found in a single individual. This survey and previous ones conducted on 314 immigrants of the 1984-85 Operation Moses suggest that HTLV1 infection is not present among Ethiopian immigrants residing in Israel.
