Abstract excerpt

Recently a new human virus, TT virus (TTV) was identified in the serum of a patient with post-transfusion hepatitis of unknown aetiology. Comparative sequence analysis of a 222 nt fragment of ORF 1 of TTV was performed to assess the genomic variability of this virus. Phylogenetic analysis of the...
