Relationships between total plasma load of torquetenovirus (TTV) and TTV genogroups carried

J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Sep;43(9):4807-10. doi: 10.1128/JCM.43.9.4807-4810.2005.

Abstract

In 239 torquetenovirus-positive people, multiple-genogroup infections were common and associated with higher viral loads than would be expected from simple additive effects. The latter observation was restricted to the infections which included both genogroups 1 and 3, pointing to the possible existence of some kind of infection facilitation between these genogroups.
