Whole genome characterization of Torque teno sus virus 1 (TTSuV1) in wild and domestic pigs: insights into genetic classification, host differentiation, and intra-host variation
This study highlights the significant genetic diversity and host-specific differentiation of TTSuV1, with wild pigs playing a key role in its evolution. Both intra-host evolution and co-infection contribute to its diversity, underscoring its potential as a tool for monitoring biosecurity risks and cross-transmission between wild and domestic pigs.
