Epidemiology of Human Parvovirus 4 Infection in Sub-Saharan Africa - Volume 16, Number 10—October 2010 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

Human parvovirus 4 infections are primarily associated with parenteral exposure in western countries. By ELISA, we demonstrate frequent seropositivity for antibody to parvovirus 4 viral protein 2 among adult populations throughout sub-Saharan Africa (Burkina Faso, 37%; Cameroon, 25%; Democratic Republic of the Congo, 35%; South Africa, 20%), which implies existence of alternative transmission routes.
