| torque teno virus (ttv) is highly prevalent in the european wild boar (sus scrofa). | the present study represents the first survey of torque teno virus (ttv) prevalence in european wild boar (sus scrofa). the prevalence of two distinct ttv genogroups in 178 spanish wild boar sera from different geographic regions, management conditions, gender and age was determined by a nested pcr method. the overall prevalence of ttv genogroups was 84% (58% for genogroup 1 and 66% for genogroup 2), and differences between genogroup prevalence were observed depending on the geographical region ... | 2006 | 16959441 |
| genomic characterization of tt viruses (ttvs) in pigs, cats and dogs and their relatedness with species-specific ttvs in primates and tupaias. | using pcr with primers derived from a non-coding region of the human tt virus (ttv) genome, the ttv sequence in serum samples obtained from pigs (sus domesticus), dogs (canis familiaris) and cats (felis catus) was identified and the entire genomic sequence was determined for each representative isolate. three ttv isolates (sd-ttv31 from a pig, cf-ttv10 from a dog and fc-ttv4 from a cat) comprising 2878, 2797 and 2064 nucleotides, respectively, each had three open reading frames (orfs) encoding 4 ... | 2002 | 12029143 |
