title: Molecular detection of Torque teno sus virus from tissues samples of sick pigs in China.
abstract: In the present study, Torque teno sus virus (TTSuV) was detected from different tissues, stool and serum samples of 25 sick pigs. The total prevalence of TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 were 64% (16/25) and 28% (7/25), 24% (6/25) were co-infected with both TTSuV1 and TTSuV2. The prevalence of TTSuV infection in spleen is a slightly higher, with positive rates of 52% (13/25) for TTSuV1 and 24% (6/25) for TTSuV2. Phylogenetic analysis of TTSuV1 showed that 21 isolates were distributed into two clusters (genotype TTSuV1a and TTSuV1b), with genotype TTSuV1b was the dominant genotype. Phylogenetic analysis of TTSuV2 showed that the nine isolates shared 80.9-99.2% nucleotide homology with each other, and were distributed in different genotypes (TTSuV2a-TTSuV2f). TTSuV2d was the most prevalent genotype in this study, which contained five Spanish strains and nine Chinese strains, and shared 94.2-96.8% homology.
