Pegivirus
''Pegivirus'' is the approved name for a genus of single positive-stranded RNA viruses in the family ''Flaviviridae''. The name is a derived one: "Pe" stands for "persistent" and "g" is a reference to Hepatitis G, a former name of the ''C'' species. Taxonomy Eleven named species are within the genus ''Pegivirus''. Isolates belonging to the species ''Pegivirus C'' are monophyletic and show 50% nucleotide (>55% amino acid) divergence from other members of this genus. Pegiviruses assigned to this species (''Pegivirus A'') originate from primate host species (humans, chimpanzees and several New World monkey species). The sequence U22303 has been assigned as the type member of the species, as this was the first pegivirus to be described for this species. Terminology to describe viruses with different hosts has not been approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses; however, ''Pegivirus A'' viruses have been called HPgV for human pegivirus, SPgV for new world simia ...

Pegivirus H
HPgV-2 (also known as human pegivirus type 2) is the second human pegivirus discovered. It was first identified in 2005 in blood of transfusion recipients and initially named ''hepegivirus 1'' because it shared some genetic features with both pegiviruses and hepaciviruses. HPgV-2 was later independently discovered by another group in the blood of a HCV-infected patient who had undergone multiple blood transfusions and died from sepsis of unclear etiology. It was then named ''human pegivirus 2''. HPgV-2 is now classified in the pegivirus genus as part of ''Pegivirus H'' species. HPgV-2 is a blood-borne virus that causes chronic long-term infections much like ''hepatitis C virus'' (HCV) and ''GB virus C'' (HPgV) – the first human pegivirus to have been discovered – but is not known to be associated with any disease. It usually infects people who are already infected by HCV and has the prevalence around 1–2% in such persons. Its prevalence in HCV/HIV coinfected subjects is stil ...
