A recent report has described the molecular cloning and characterization of a novel, single-stranded DNA virus, named TT virus (TTV), which was present in the sera of Japanese patients with posttransfusion hepatitis of unknown etiology [Okamoto et al. (1998) Hepatology Research 10:1-16]. Using a nes
## Abstract Early estimates of the prevalence of TTV viremia in healthy adults of developed countries were in the order of 1β10 %, while similar estimates in Third World countries were considerably higher. Using three different PCRs, TTVβrelated DNA was detected in serum from 180 out of the 201 Nor
