Torque Teno Virus in Nasopharyngeal Aspirate of Children With Viral Respiratory Infections

Teresa del Rosal et al.

Summary: The prevalence of TTV infection in children with respiratory infections was evaluated in this study, and its correlations with outcomes and immune response were analyzed. The results showed that TTV infection is common in children with respiratory infections and is associated with abnormal chest radiograph, disease severity, and changes in protein expression and release.

Better detection of Torque teno virus in children with leukemia by metagenomic sequencing than by quantitative PCR

Gustaf Leijonhufvud et al.

Summary: TTV is a group of chronically persisting viruses with a wide sequence diversity, and studies suggest that it is more common than detected by conventional qPCR assays. Analysis of TTV genome sequences reveals that some strains may not be detected by qPCR designed on a conserved region of the TTV genome.

Diversity and dynamic changes of anelloviruses in plasma following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Estela Gimenez et al.

Summary: Monitoring alphatorquevirus (TTV) DNA in plasma may help assess immune competence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The study found co-detection of TTV, TTMV, and TTMDV in more than two-thirds of patients in pre-transplant and post-engraftment plasma specimens. Targeting TTMV and TTMDV with quantitative real-time PCR assays may provide additional value in assessing immune competence in this clinical setting.

Summary: The decrease in TTV DNA load from baseline in stool specimens may help identify patients at risk of acute intestinal graft versus host disease (aIGvHD) according to the hypothesis-generating study.

Taxonomic update for mammalian anelloviruses (family Anelloviridae)

Arvind Varsani et al.

Summary: Anelloviruses are a group of small DNA viruses, and with the discovery of diverse strains in various organisms in recent years, new classification challenges have emerged. A global analysis of mammalian anelloviruses has led to the establishment of new criteria for classification, resulting in the creation of new genera and species.
