Distribution of TT virus (TTV), TTV-like minivirus, and related viruses in humans and nonhuman primates.
TT virus (TTV) and TTV-like minivirus (TLMV) are small DNA viruses with single-stranded, closed circular, antisense genomes infecting man. Despite their extreme sequence heterogeneity (>50%), a highly conserved region in the untranslated region (UTR) allows both viruses to be amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). TTV/TLMV infection was detected in 88 of 100 human plasma samples; amplifi...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of TT virus (TTV) and TTV-like minivirus in cervical swabs.
Genomes of TT virus (TTV) and TTV-like minivirus DNA were detected in 80% and 61% of cervical swabs from healthy women, respectively, regardless of concurrent human papillomavirus infection. These results show that the potential exists for sexual transmission of TTV and related viruses.

متن کاملClassification of TTV and related viruses (anelloviruses).
Ten years after the identification of the first partial sequences of Torque teno virus (TTV), more than 200 full-length related genomes have been characterized in humans and in several animal species. As suspected in the earlier stages of their description, a considerable genetic variability characterizes TTV and related viruses, the current members of the floating genus Anellovirous. Since inf...
متن کاملEarly acquisition of TT virus (TTV) in an area endemic for TTV infection.
TT virus (TTV) is widely distributed, with high frequencies of viremia in South America, Central Africa, and Papua New Guinea. The incidence and timing of infection in children born in a rural area of the Democratic Republic of Congo was investigated. TTV viremia was detected in 61 (58%) of 105 women attending an antenatal clinic and in 36 (54%) of 68 infants. Most infants acquired the infectio...
