1. A method of detecting human Pegivirus 2 (HPgV-2) infection in a subject comprising:
a) contacting a sample from a subject suspected of containing a subject antibody to HPgV-2 with a peptide, wherein said peptide specifically binds said subject antibody to form a complex; and b) detecting the presence of said complex, thereby detecting the presence of past or present HPgV-2 infection in said subject.
