Is parvovirus an adenovirus?

The parvoviruses that multiply only in cells coinfected with a helper adenovirus constitute the genus dependovirus (previously called the adeno-associated viruses [AAVs]). These viruses have not been shown to cause disease in humans.

Why is parvovirus B19 called such?

It is so named because it was the fifth most common cause of a pink-red infection associated rash to be described by physicians (many of the others, such as measles and rubella, are rare now). Once infected, patients usually develop the illness after an incubation period of four to fourteen days.

What family is parvovirus in?

Parvoviridae
Canine parvovirus/Family

Is parvovirus single stranded DNA?

Parvoviruses have linear, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes that are about 4–6 kilobases (kb) in length.

Are there any human viruses in the genus Parvovirus?

As of 2018, no known human viruses were in the remaining three recognized genera: vi) Amdoparvovirus (e.g. Aleutian mink disease virus), vii) Aveparvovirus (e.g. chicken parvovirus), and viii) Copiparvovirus (e.g. bovine parvovirus 2).

What kind of virus is raccoon parvovirus?

The genus Protoparvovirus (previously Parvovirus) includes: feline panleukopenia virus and the closely related canine parvovirus, mink enteritis virus, and raccoon parvovirus; parvoviruses of rodents and lagomorphs; and parvoviruses of ungulates and primates.

What is the pathogenicity of parvovirus B19 virus?

Like other nonenveloped DNA viruses, pathogenicity of parvovirus B19 involves binding to host cell receptors, internalization, translocation of the genome to the host nucleus, DNA replication, RNA transcription, assembly of capsids and packaging of the genome, and finally cell lysis with release of the mature virions.

What kind of virus is the simian parvovirus?

Simian parvovirus (SPV) was first described in cynomolgus macaques concurrently infected with the simian-type D retrovirus ( O’Sullivan et al., 1994 ). SPV resides within the erythrovirus genus and shares 65% homology at the DNA level with human B19 parvovirus within the major capsid protein.
