Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: CYC is the director of the UCSF-Abbott Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center (VDDC) and receives research support in pathogen discovery from Abbott Laboratories, Inc. MGB, KCh, KCo, KF, MF, MM, GD, CB, and JH are employees of Abbott Laboratories, Inc. DL, MGB, KCo, KCh, MF, JH, and CYC have filed a patent application related to the novel pegivirus, provisionally named human pegivirus 2 (HPgV-2). This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS policies on sharing data and materials.
