High Prevalence of Co-Infection with Multiple Torque Teno Sus Virus Species in Italian Pig Herds
Torque teno viruses (TTVs) are a large group of vertebrate-infecting small viruses with circular single-stranded DNA, classified in the Anelloviridae family. In swine, two genetically distinct species, Torque teno sus virus 1a (TTSuV1a) and 1b (TTSuV1b) are currently grouped into the genus Iotatorquevirus. More recently, a novel Torque teno sus virus species, named Torque teno sus virus k2b (TT...
متن کاملDetection of swine torque teno virus in Italian pig herds.
Anellovirus is a recently created, floating genus of viruses. Torque teno virus (TTV), the type species in the genus, was first discovered in a human patient with a post-transfusion hepatitis of unknown aetiology. Recently, TTV genetically related to but distinct from those discovered in humans have also been found in animals, including pigs. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalen...
متن کاملTorque Teno Virus (TTV) Infection
TTV has been recently identified as a causative agent of non-A to non-G hepatitis. However, the exact role of this virus in the pathogenesis of chronic liver disease (CLD) and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain controversial. To clarify these issues, the prevalence of this virus and its impact on the severity of liver disease and development of HCC among Egyptian patients ...
متن کاملTorque Teno Sus Virus (TTSuV) in Cell Cultures and Trypsin
Torque teno sus virus (TTSuV), a member of the family Anelloviridae, is a single-stranded, circular DNA virus, widely distributed in swine populations. Presently, two TTSuV genogroups are recognized: Torque teno sus virus 1 (TTSuV1) and Torque teno sus virus 2 (TTSuV2). TTSuV genomes have been found in commercial vaccines for swine, enzyme preparations and other drugs containing components of p...
متن کاملDiscovery of a novel Torque teno sus virus species: genetic characterization, epidemiological assessment and disease association.
The study describes a novel Torque teno sus virus (TTSuV) species, provisionally named Torque teno sus virus k2b (TTSuVk2b), originally found in commercial pig sera by applying the rolling-circle amplification technique. Full-length sequences of TTSuVk2b were obtained, annotated and used in the phylogenetic analyses, which revealed that TTSuVk2b is a novel Anellovirus species within the genus K...
