ABSTRACT
Redondoviridae, is a small circular virus, of the DNA family, discovered by metagenomic sequence data, was found in human lung and oropharyngeal samples were first identified genomes of said viruses aligned to metagenomic sequences of lungs of two organ donors. Of the DNA viruses, the redondoviruses were the second most abundant, surpassed only by Anellovirus. The prevalence of redondovirus was similar in cohorts of apparently healthy patients although higher amounts of genome suggested higher absolute levels in sick subjects.
