Human parvovirus 4 in nasal and fecal specimens from children, Ghana

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 18, No. 10, Year 2012

Nonparenteral transmission might contribute to human parvovirus 4 (PARV4) infections in sub-Saharan Africa. PARV4 DNA was detected in 8 (0.83%) of 961 nasal samples and 5 (0.53%) of 943 fecal samples from 1,904 children in Ghana. Virus concentrations ≈6-7 log10 copies/mL suggest respiratory or fecal-oral modes of PARV4 transmission.
