Persistent infections and dependence on rapidly dividing cells are common features of the related parvoviruses, for example, human erythrovirus B 19 (7).
Despite the acute, resolving nature of many parvovirus infections, it is now well established that many members of the family Parvoviridae, such as the human erythrovirus B 19, can establish lifelong persistence with restricted replication and absence or rarity of detectable long-term viremia (5-7).
Until recently, parvovirus B19 and adeno-associated viruses, which belong to the genera Erythrovirus and Dependovirus, respectively, were the only known members of the family Parvoviridae that infected humans (1).
