AI Article Synopsis
- A CRESS-DNA virus, primarily found in fecal samples from vertebrates, was examined in human vaginal samples for its presence.
- Viral metagenomics was conducted on samples from 28 healthy women in NYC, with some providing duplicates over a 12-21 day span.
- The study found that one individual had continuous detection of the CRESS-DNA virus over a twelve-day period, indicating it can persist in the human vagina.
Article Abstract
Background: is a CRESS-DNA virus identified almost exclusively in transient fecal samples from various vertebrate species.
Objective: We evaluated human vaginal samples for the presence and maintenance of .
Methods: Viral metagenomics analysis was performed on vaginal samples collected from 28 apparently healthy women in New York City, USA. Twenty-one of the women provided duplicate samples over a 12-21-day interval.
Results: Phylogenetic analysis identified two samples from the same individual, collected over a twelve-day interval, that were positive for the complete genome. All detected sequence contigs belonged to a single variant of CRESS-DNA.
Conclusions: The continuous presence of in the human vagina over a twelve-day period was identified.
