Torque teno virus: a ubiquitous virus

Torque teno virus (TTV) is a non-enveloped human DNA virus isolated by Nishizawa et al. in 1997.1 TTV, recently classified as the Alphatorquevirus genus within the Anelloviridae family by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), was the first human virus with a single-stranded circular DNA genome to be identified.2 Thus far, five main genetic groups (Groups 1–5) involving at l...

caid et al. showed that the TTV encodes a miRNA in vivo that orque teno virus (TTV) is a non-enveloped human DNA virus solated by Nishizawa et al. in 1997.1 TTV, recently classified s the Alphatorquevirus genus within the Anelloviridae family by he International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), as the first human virus with a single-stranded circular DNA enome to be identified.2 Thus fa...

Torque 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 ...

Torque teno virus (TTV) infection in sows and suckling piglets.

Torque teno virus (TTV) is a single-stranded DNA virus that has been detected in serum of primate and non-primate species including swine. Little information on swine TTV infection and transmission dynamics is nowadays available. The goal of this study was to gain insight into the potential role of the sow in transmitting TTV to piglets and the infection dynamics of both swine TTV genogroups (T...
