Parvoviridae
n one of the major deoxyribonucleic acid virus families to which the B19 virus belongs. These viruses have a single-stranded linear molecular structure with icosahedral symmetry.
Parvoviridae
a family of small (20 nm diameter) icosahedral single-stranded DNA viruses that are nonenveloped. There are three genera of veterinary importance: Parvovirus, which includes feline panleukopenia virus, mink enteritis virus, canine, bovine and porcine parvoviruses and Aleutian mink disease virus; Densovirus, which occur in insects; Erythrovirus which infect primates; and Dependovirus, which are defective, requiring adenoviruses to complete their replication, and are nonpathogenic (called also adeno-associated viruses). Autonomously replicating parvoviruses replicate only during S phase of the cell cycle, i.e. they attack dividing cells.
