Tobamoviruses can be frequently present in the oropharynx and gut of infants during their first year of life

Abstract Plant viruses have been reported to be common in the gut of human adults, presumably as result of food ingestion. In this work, we report that plant viruses can also be found frequently in the gut and oropharynx of children during their first year of life, even when they are exclusively bre...
