Abstract

Prevalence of anelloviruses (T TV, T TMDV and T TMV) in blood serum and liver biopsy specimens from 203 patients with chronic liver pathology of viral and non-viral etiology was studied using molecular, histopathological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic methods. Serum samples from 115 primary blood donors were used as controls.
