Abstract The development of novel techniques and systems to study human infectious diseases in both an in vitro and in vivo settings is always in high demand. Ideally small animal models are the most efficient method of studying human afflictions. This is especially evident in the study of the human retroviruses HIV-1 and HTLV-1 in that current simian animal models though robust are often expensive and difficult to maintain. Over the past two decades the construction of humanized animal models through the transplantation and engraftment of .
