parvoviruses


Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.

parvoviruses

A family of viruses that cause RUBELLA-like illnesses, transient joint pain and, in sickle cell disease, a failure of production of blood cells. Parvovirus B19 enjoys worldwide infectivity by droplet and has been spread in blood products. It causes Fifth disease, arthralgia and inflammatory arthritis, transient aplasia of red blood cells, miscarriage and hydrops fetalis. Immune globulins are an effective treatment.

Diagnostico e estudo sorologico da infeccao pelo parvovirus canino em caes de Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
Bioinformatics of sequence data revealed a 4.5-kb base assembled sequence in the horse liver sample that showed distant yet significant protein similarity with known bovine and porcine parvoviruses. Thereafter, the in silico assembled sequence data were used to design primers for amplifying the complete genome of the new parvovirus, tentatively named EqPVH.

To clarify whether interspecies transmission is possible for primate PARV4like viruses, as has been shown for other parvoviruses (9), we investigated samples in a setting where transmission of certain simian viruses between these species has been documented (10,11).

Human parvovirus 4 as potential cause of encephalitis in children, India
Because PARV4 IgG seroprevalence in group 1 was 0% in this study, in contrast to prevalences of 60% for B19 (12) and 96% for HBoV (9) in the same students, serologic cross-reactivity between PARV4 and the other human parvoviruses appears highly unlikely.
Serodiagnosis of primary infections with human Parvovirus 4, Finland
Although infections with PARV4 are not followed by long-term viremia, viral DNA sequences can likely be detected in tissues lifelong after exposure (3-6), a form of latency or persistence shared with other human parvoviruses, e.g., human parvovirus B19, and adeno-associated viruses (6-8).
