Low prevalence of Gemycircularvirus DNA in immunocompetent and immunocompromised subjects.

Low prevalence of Gemycircularvirus DNA in immunocompetent and immunocompromised subjects. New Microbiol. 2019 Apr 29;41(2) Authors: Macera L, Spezia PG, Medici C, Falasca F, Sciandra I, Antonelli G, Focosi D, Pistello M, Maggi F Abstract Gemycircularviruses (GemyCV) are a vast array of viruses belonging to the Genomoviridae family. Prevalence and pathogenesis in humans are still poorly understood. Different GemyCV species were investigated in 661 Italian subjects by species-specific PCRs. Only the GemyCV-C1c species was detected, with low prevalence and the highest rate in HIV immunosuppressed patients. PMID: 31034081 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
