Abstract:Human bocaviruses (HBoV) are mainly associated with respiratory and gastroenteric
infections. These viruses belong to the family Parvoviridae,
genus Bocaparvovirus and are classified in four subtypes
(HBoV1-4). Recombination and point mutation have been described as basis of
parvovirus evolution. In this study three viral sequences were obtained from
positives HBoV sewage samples collected in two Uruguayan cities and were
characterised by different methods as recombinant strains. This recombination
event was l… Show more
