Abstract
Anelloviridae and Redondoviridae are virus families with small, circular, single-stranded DNA genomes that are common components of the human virome. Despite their small genome size of less than 5000 bases, they are remarkably successful — anelloviruses colonize over 90% of adult humans, while the recently discovered redondoviruses have been found at up to 80% prevalence in some populations. Anelloviruses are present in blood and many organs, while redondoviruses are found mainly in the ororespiratory tract. Despite their high prevalence, little is known about their biology or pathogenic potential. In this review, we discuss anelloviruses and redondoviruses and explore their enigmatic roles in human health and disease.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Virology (COVIRO) is a systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of virology. It publishes 6 issues per year covering the following 11 sections, each of which is reviewed once a year: Emerging viruses: interspecies transmission; Viral immunology; Viral pathogenesis; Preventive and therapeutic vaccines; Antiviral strategies; Virus structure and expression; Animal models for viral diseases; Engineering for viral resistance; Viruses and cancer; Virus vector interactions. There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field.
