Trichodysplasia Spinulosa Polyomavirus Infection Occurs during Early Childhood with Intrafamilial Transmission, Especially from Mother to Child

To get new insights into the distribution and modes of acquisition of trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus (TSPyV) infection, we performed a seroepidemiological study in two populations from Cameroon. Our results suggest that TSPyV infection occurs, through close contacts, during early childhood with intra-familial transmission, especially from mother to child.
