چکیده
In 2013, studies conducted on human clinical samples in Vietnam and Malawi indicated for the first time that cycloviruses might be associated with central nervous system infection in humans. A definitive causal link to neurological diseases was not established and would require further studies.

Circoviruses have been shown to cause disease in pigs and poultry.
