Single-stranded DNA-viruses are classified into the families of Parvoviridae, Circoviridae,
and Anelloviridae. All these viruses are characterized as small, non-enveloped particles with …

INTRODUCTION—Parvovirus B19 infection is a common childhood illness. Asymptomatic or
mild infection occurs most often when B19 affects immunocompetent adults. Rarely, acute …

In recent years many of our assumptions about human parvoviruses and blood transfusion
have been challenged. It was thought that human parvovirus B19 (B19V), the only …

The first parvovirus to be detected in the human population was found in 1975 during routine
screening of blood donors [1, 2]. Working in Australia, Yvonne Cossart found a parvovirus …

Human bocavirus is a member of the genus Bocaparvovirus (subfamily Parvovirinae, family
Parvoviridae), which covers a group of small nonenveloped, single-stranded, mostly …

The first human parvoviruses to be described (1960s) were the adeno‐associated viruses
(AAVs, now classed as dependoviruses), originally identified as contaminants of cell …

Parvoviruses are small non-enveloped icosahedral viruses with linear single-stranded DNA
genomes of 4–6 kb with terminal repeats forming hairpin structures at both ends. To date …

BACKGROUND: The human bocavirus (HBoV), a newly discovered parvovirus, is closely
related to the bovine parvovirus and the canine minute virus, which are known to cause …

Parvoviruses belong to the family Parvoviridae. They are single-stranded, relatively uniform,
isometric, nonenveloped deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) viruses that infect many animals …

This book gives details of the discovery and research work on B19 virus to date. The virus is
an autonomous parvovirus and many of its properties and much of its behaviour can be …
