Parvovirus 4-like virus in blood products.
Abstract
Porcine plasma and factor VIII preparations were screened for parvovirus 4 (PARV)-like viruses. Although the prevalence of PARV4-like viruses in plasma samples was relatively low, viruses appeared to be concentrated during manufacture of factor VIII. PARV4-like viruses from human and porcine origins coevolved likewise with their hosts.
