N2 - Yolken et al. (1) claim detection of Acanthocystis turfacea chlorella virus 1 (ATCV-1, gi119953744) in the normal human oropharyngeal viral flora and associate it with altered cognitive function. However, the reported presence of a freshwater algae virus, previously not known to infect other species, was based on a few sequence reads homologous to ATCV-1 identified with BLASTn. These reads span relatively few bases (97–698 bp) per sample, dispersed over a minor fraction (0.03–0.24%) of the 288 kb ATCV-1 genome.
