We studied the prevalence of TT virus (TTV) DNA in the general population of the eastern Taiwan aborigine villages, about 11% (34 of 317). There is no association between the presence of HBsAg and TTV DNA or betwen the presence of HCV RNA and TTV DNA. Therefore, the infection of HBV or HCV and the p
TT virus (TTV) infection is extremely widespread in the general population. A sensitive real-time PCR assay was developed that quantitated accurately the most prevalent TTV genotypes in Italy. When used to test 217 individuals for TTV viraemia, the overall prevalence was 94%. Viraemia levels varied
Human isolates of the highly prevalent TT virus (TTV) have been classified into five major genomic groups (1-5). The geographical distribution of the groups throughout the world is not well known. Five different PCR assays were developed in an attempt to amplify specifically TTV DNAs of each genomic
