Human T‐cell leukaemia virus type I (HTLV‐I) is a retrovirus that causes adult T‐cell leukaemia (ATL). HTLV‐I has existed in Japanese people for thousands of years. In order to prevent an epidemic of HTLV‐I, it is important to explain the infection system by a mathematical approach. By considering the main infection routes in Japan, that is: (i) mother‐to‐child transmission; (ii) male (husband)‐to‐female (wife) transmission; and (iii) female (wife)‐to‐male (husband) transmission, a mathematical model for describing the time‐dependent change of the infection proportion can be constructed. An upper bound of the present infection rate per year in male‐to‐female transmission and that in female‐to‐male transmission is given by the model, and theoretical results related to HTLV‐I infection are also deduced from the mathematical model. A simulation study based on the present model demonstrates the theoretical results relating to the HTLV‐I infection. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
