TT virus-like minivirus (TLMV) was recently discovered as a human circovirus. Little is known about its natural history and molecular epidemiology. A study of TLMV infection is described in a population of French hemodialysis patients. TLMV DNA was tested by seminested PCR system located in the noncoding region in 81 patients divided into seven groups according to the origin of their renal disease. Quantitation of TLMV DNA in serum was carried out. Sequences from 28 patients were compared with 40 sequences retrieved from databases and 53 TLMV sequences cloned from the serum of a single patient. The prevalence of TLMV DNA in hemodialysis patients was 95.1%. In this study, 24 samples (29.6%) presented viral loads of > 125 equivalents of plasmid (Ep)/ml, and only 6 (7.8%) had viral loads of > 125 x 10(2) Ep/ml. A significant correlation (P < 0.029) was found between viral loads of > 125 x 10(2) Ep/ml and the neoplastic origin of end-stage renal disease. Analysis of 53 sequences cloned from a single individual demonstrated high sequence variability, as shown by the genetic distance of 40.2%. This genetic distance is comparable to that between the most divergent sequences of TLMV reported to date (43.5%). These data suggest that TLMV viral load is possibly related to the level of immunocompetence of hemodialysis patients; the genetic diversity of TLMV is extremely high; and co-infection by different strains is possible. 相似文献

Testing of the DNA of TTV-like mini virus (TLMV) was done with serum samples obtained from 184 patients (children and adults) who visited different outpatient clinics at a university hospital in Florianopolis, south of Brazil. TLMV DNA was detected by PCR primers from the non-coding region of the genome. A global TLMV prevalence of 78% was found (94% among children below 11 years). PCR products from three serum samples (patients A-C) were cloned, and the sequences with a length of 201-227 nucleotides were determined for 16-19 clones derived from each of the sera. Among the 16 clones derived from patient C, 15 were identical, and the remaining one had a sequence homology of 99%. In contrast, eight different sequences were obtained among the 19 clones derived from patient A, and 10 distinct sequences were depicted among the 17 clones derived from the serum of patient B. Additionally, 13 clones derived from a saliva sample of patient B were sequenced, and seven different nucleotide sequences obtained. One particular sequence was predominant in both serum (8/17 clones) and saliva (7/13 clones) of patient B. On a phylogenetic tree, sequences derived from patient A (a 6-year-old boy), as well as those derived from patient B (a 24-year-old man), were located in five distinct evolutionary branches, taking a minimum divergence of 5% between branches. This suggested that adults and children are coinfected frequently with several TLMV isolates of different origins. 相似文献

High detection rates of TTV-like mini virus sequences in sera from Brazilian blood donors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
TT virus (TTV) is an unenveloped virus with a single-stranded, circular DNA genome of 3,818-3,853 nucleotides (nt) that infects humans and non-human primates. Recently, the existence of a novel human virus, TTV-like mini virus (TLMV), that shows a genetic organization similar to that of TTV, but with smaller virion particle and genome, was proposed [Takahashi et al. (2000) Archives of Virology 145:979-993]. To date, no information is available with respect to the prevalence and pathogenicity of TLMV. A sensitive PCR assay was developed by using two oligonucleotide primers (LS2 and LA2) designed from the conserved non-coding region of the TLMV genome. One hundred thirty-seven sera from volunteer Brazilian blood donors were tested and 99 (72%) were TLMV DNA positive. No significant differences were observed between the groups of TLMV positive and negative subjects in relation to sex ratio, seroprevalence of TTV DNA, prevalence of anti-hepatitis A virus antibodies, area of residence, occurrence of daily contact with animals, family income, education level, and level of alanine aminotransferase. The specificity of the PCR assay was demonstrated after cloning of amplification products and determination of the nucleotide sequences (200-228 nt) of clones derived from 23 individuals. When DNAs extracted from TLMV/TTV-coinfected sera were submitted to PCR with LS2 and LA2 primers, the amplification products were derived exclusively from the TLMV genome. A markedly wide range of sequence divergence, even higher than that existent among TTV strains, was noted among TLMV isolates, with a maximum evolutionary distance of 0.80. 相似文献

High prevalence of TT virus-related DNA (90%) and diverse viral genotypes in Norwegian blood donors. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Early estimates of the prevalence of TTV viremia in healthy adults of developed countries were in the order of 1--10 %, while similar estimates in Third World countries were considerably higher. Using three different PCRs, TTV-related DNA was detected in serum from 180 out of the 201 Norwegian blood donors tested, indicating that these viruses are almost universally present in adults. Sequence analysis revealed heterogeneity similar to what is found world-wide. The data suggest that the previous discrepancy in prevalences might be related to a lower serum concentration of virus in developed countries. The high prevalence adds evidence to the benign nature of the virus. 相似文献
