Intravenous drug users (IDUs) are a high-risk group for HIV-1, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, which are the leading causes of death in IDUs. However, the plasma virome of IDUs and how it is influenced by above viral infections remain unclear. Using viral metagenomics, we determined the plasma virome of IDUs and its association with HIV-1, HCV, and/or HBV infections. Compared with healthy individuals, IDUs especially those with major viral infections had higher viral abundance and diversity. Anelloviridae dominated plasma virome. Coinfections of multiple anelloviruses were common, and anelloviruses from the same genus tended to coexist together. In this study, 4,487 anellovirus ORF1 sequences were identified, including 1,620 (36.1%) with less than 69% identity to any known sequences, which tripled the current number. Compared with healthy controls (HC), more anellovirus sequences were observed in neg-IDUs, and HIV-1, HCV, and/or HBV infections further expanded the sequence number in IDUs, which was characterized by the emergence of novel divergent taxons and blooms of resident anelloviruses. Pegivirus was mainly identified in infected IDUs. Five main pegivirus transmission clusters (TCs) were identified by phylogenetic analysis, suggesting a transmission link. Similar anellovirus profiles were observed in IDUs within the same TC, suggesting transmission of anellome among IDUs. Our data suggested that IDUs suffered higher plasma viral burden especially anelloviruses, which was associated with HIV-1, HCV, and/or HBV infections. Blooms in abundance and unprecedented diversity of anellovirus highlighted active evolution and replication of this virus in blood circulation, and an uncharacterized role it may engage with the host. IMPORTANCE Virome is associated with immune status and determines or influences disease progression through both pathogenic and resident viruses. Increased viral burden in IDUs especially those with major viral infections indicated the suboptimal immune status and high infection risks of these population. Blooms in abundance and unprecedented diversity of anellovirus highlighted its active evolution and replication in the blood circulation, and sensitive response to other viral infections. In addition, transmission cluster analysis revealed the transmission link of pegivirus among IDUs, and the individuals with transmission links shared similar anellome profiles. In-depth monitoring of the plasma virome in high-risk populations is not only needed for surveillance for emerging viruses and transmission networks of major and neglected bloodborne viruses, but also important for a better understanding of commensal viruses and their role it may engage with immune system.
