    Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a recently discovered parvovirus which is suspected to be an etiologic agent of respiratory disease and gastrointestinal disease in humans. In this study, We detected positive samples for HBoV1 from nasopharyngeal aspirates and constructed the nearly full-length genome clone designated as pWHL-1(GenBank Acession NO. GU139423). Furthermore, using the RT-PCR and 3´RACE method we identified different viral mRNAs of NP1 gene in 293T cells transfected by pWHL-1. The mRNAs were varied due to alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation. Our results showed that gene transcription occurred in pWHL-1 transfected cells even without inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) structure of the viral genome.
