This research aims to investigate the persistence of erythrovirus DNA in human tissues and determine the epidemiological implications of different virus variants.
Examined 523 samples of skin, synovium, tonsil, or liver (1913-2000) and 1,640 sera using quantitative molecular assays for erythrovirus DNA.
Identified and quantified virus types 1, 2, and 3 across age groups.
Virus type 1 DNA was found in 132 (25%) tissues; type 2 in 58 (11%) tissues, primarily in individuals born before 1973 (P < 0.001).
Type 1 DNA was present across all age groups, whereas type 2 was not found in sera from the past two decades.
