[Anelloviruses (TTV and variants): state of the art 10years after their discovery]

Ten years after their discovery, anelloviruses combine some characteristics making them particularly intriguing. In support of their extreme genetic diversity and high prevalence in various populations, their natural history is still poorly understood along with their implication in human health. These viruses have been identified in blood and blood-derived products, and are probably remarkable examples of co-existence and co-evolution in their various hosts. This article presents epidemiological and molecular characterizing this new viral family.
