Key result
Genomic analysis identifies two novel torque teno minivirus species in human oral mucosa.
Why the study?
The identification and characterization of novel species of torque teno miniviruses in the human oral cavity were not previously reported.
Identifies two novel species of torque teno minivirus in the human oral cavity.
Novel oral Betatorquevirus genomes expand known diversity; leaves open clinical relevance and requires further study.
Anelloviridae is a family of circular, single-stranded DNA viruses highly prevalent among humans. We report the genome sequence of two torque teno miniviruses found in human oral mucosa samples. Genome organization, phylogenetic analysis, and pairwise comparisons reveal that they belong to novel species within the Betatorquevirus genus.
