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).
Phylogenetic analyses of sequence data suggest that this virus, termed PARV4, is only distantly related to previously known human or animal members of the family Parvoviridae, including members of the Erythrovirus genus known to infect humans, such as parvovirus B19.
