Abstract
Human gemylcibivints 2 (HuGkV-2) belonging to the Gemylcibivirus genez (Genomoviridae family) is an emetging DNA virus which has . een dedi ed as a cornponent ot the vitome of a wide variety of sarnples including clinical ones. So far, the HuGkV-2 ENA prevalence in the human population as vreli as its clinical Impact are completely unknown. The objective of this study was to invesdgate the HuGkV-2 DNA prevalence among B?azilian healthy blood donors front three different geographic regions. A total of 450 blood samples were screened for HuGkV-2 DNA (150 sarnples were front the Brazilian Amazon, 150 front Midwest Brazil and 150 from South Brazil). The overall HuGkV-2 DNA prevalence was /.8 %. Considering the evarnined regions, the highest prevalence was observed in the Brazilian Amazon (city of Macapa, state of Amapa), 15.3 %, followed by the Midwest Brazil (city of Brasilia, Federal District) (8.0 %) and South Brazil (city of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Stil State) (2.0 %). This study gives prelindnary insights on the molecular prevalence of HuGkV-2 DNA among Brazilian blood donors, highlighting that the highest HuGkV-2 prevalence was recorded in the Brazilian Amazon.
