Purple: NGS analyses. Orange: specific HAstV-MLB1 and HAstV-MLB2/MLB2-3 real-time RT-PCR confirmation assays. The number of reads for each specific virus detected by ezVIR is indicated. Read coverage histograms are shown for HAstV-MLB1 and HAstV-MLB2. NGS next-generation sequencing, TTV torque teno virus, HIV-1 human immunodeficiency virus type 1, HHV-8 human herpesvirus 8, AAV adeno-associated virus
