Hetorquevirus is a genus of viruses in the family Anelloviridae whose members have been identified in humans.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus contains the following species:[1]
- Hetorquevirus hominid 2
- Hetorquevirus hominid 3
- Hetorquevirus hominid 4
- Hetorquevirus hominid 5
- Hetorquevirus hominid 6
Hetorquevirus hominid 2 was established from the former species Torque teno hominid virus 2 in ICTV proposal 2020.015D.R.Anelloviridae_17ngen_80nsp.[2]
Additional species were added in ICTV proposal 2023.005D.Anelloviride_4ngen_16nsp.[3]
History
The first sequence associated with the genus was identified in 2018 as Vzttmv5 during a metagenomic study of respiratory tract infections in Vietnam.[4]
The strain, deposited in GenBank under accession MK212032, was described as highly divergent from previously recognized anellovirus genera and was later classified as Hetorquevirus hominid 2.[4]
Etymology
The genus name combines He, a letter of the Phoenician alphabet, with torquevirus, derived from the Latin torque ("necklace").[2]
