dc.description.abstractTo the Editor: The development of new molecular techniques in recent years has resulted in the discovery of a number of novel viruses. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) was the first to be discovered in 1989 using immunoscreening methods 1 and since 1995 a further five new viruses have been identified using the same or modified technologies: GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV), 2,3 human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8),4 TT virus (TTV),5 SEN virus (SEN-V)6 and human metapneumovirus.7 In each case the prevalence of the virus in different communities, its association with disease and therefore its relevance in the hospital and blood transfusion settings needed to be established.en_ZA
