Abstract excerpt
Torque teno virus (TTV) is a non-enveloped virus with a circular, single-stranded DNA genome. TTV is currently classified in the unassigned genus Anellovirus, and distinct TTVs of tentative species-status infect a wide range of vertebrates. In domestic pigs and wild boars, porcine TTV occurs in two genogroups, TTV1 and TTV2, which are currently detected using only conventional PCR assays. To allow high-throughput...
