Parvoviruses, infecting vertebrates and invertebrates, are a family of single-stranded DNA
viruses with small, non-enveloped capsids with T= 1 icosahedral symmetry. A quarter of a …

The use of insects as food for humans or as feed for animals is an alternative for the
increasing high demand for meat and has various environmental and social advantages …

Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) capsids show 12 pores at the fivefold axes of
symmetry. We mutated amino acids which constitute these pores to investigate possible …

The complex infection process of parvoviruses is not well understood so far. An important
role has been attributed to a phospholipase A2 domain which is located within the unique N …

Parvovirus B19 is the causative agent of erythema infectiosum. In addition, parvovirus B19
