ABSTRACT

The aim of this editorial is to present a brief description of the Torque teno virus’ epidemiology and establish the actuality of their study in México. Also, we mentioned the studies made in México and Yucatán, specifically in the Center of Regional Research “Dr. Hideyo Noguchi” of the Autonomous University of Yucatán.
