abstract

torque teno virus (ttv) is prevalent worldwide and has been extensively studied in human and some wild and domestic animals. as the studies on ttv in chickens was rare and there was no information about the infection of domestic village chickens with ttv and also structural resemblance of this virus to chicken anemia virus, the frequency of the infection in domestic village chickens in different villages in isfahan (iran) was investigated. sera were collected from 50 chickens. viral dna was extracted and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using the previously described t801 and t935 primers that were used for amplification of a highly conserved non-coding region (utr) of the viral genome in a single round of pcr and set b primers of conserved region in a nested pcr reaction. using t801 and t835 primers ttv or viruses of ttv family were detected in 16 out of 50 sera tested (32%). fourteen out of the same 50 sera (28%) were positive for ttv using set b primers. totally 20 sera were positive using both primers (40%). ten sera were detected with both sets of primers, six sera with t801 and t935 primers and only four sera were positive using set b primers for ttv. different patterns of the detection of the virus with the two different sets of primers suggests the possibility of the presence of different genotypes of ttv in domestic village chickens and the possibility of the transmission of the virus from human to village chickens and vice versa. this necessitates further investigations.

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 ...

Detection of Torque teno midi virus/Small anellovirus (TTMDV/SAV) in the sera of domestic village chickens and its vertical transmission from hen to eggs

Although the infection of different animals and non-human primates with other members of Anelloviridae have already been reported there is no report about infection of animals with Torque teno midi virus/Small anellovirs (TTMDV/SAV). The aim of this study was to detect the virus in domestic village chickens. Blood samples were collected from 79 domestic village chickens in Isfahan. Blood sample...

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...

Torque Teno Virus (TTV) Among β-Thalassemia and Haemodialysis Patients in Mazandaran Province (North of Iran)

Torque Teno virus (TTV) is a transfusion transmitted virus that seems to be involved in several complications such as acute respiratory diseases, liver diseases, AIDS, cancer, and autoimmune reactions. In the present study the frequency of TTV was investigated among β- thalassemia (BT) and haemodialysis (HD) patients (high risk patients for TTV) in Mazandaran province, Iran. DNA was extracted f...
