Parvovirus 4–like Virus in Blood Products

چکیده
Porcine plasma and factor VIII preparations were screened for parvovirus 4 (PARV)-like viruses. Although the prevalence of PARV4-like viruses in plasma samples was relatively low, viruses appeared to be concentrated during manufacture of factor VIII. PARV4-like viruses from human and porcine origins coevolved likewise with their hosts.

متن کاملHuman parvovirus B19 and parvovirus 4 among Iranian patients with hemophilia
Background Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) is one of the smallest DNA viruses and shows great resistance to most disinfectants. Therefore, it is one of the common contaminant pathogens present in blood and plasma products. Parvovirus 4 (PARV4) is a newly identified parvovirus, which is also prevalent in parenteral transmission. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of B19V and PARV4 DN...
