Erythroparvovirus

Erythroparvovirus is a genus of viruses in subfamily Parvovirinae of the virus family Parvoviridae.^[1]^[2] There are seven species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include fifth disease and skin lesions.^[3]^[4]

Taxonomy

The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species:^[4]^[5]

Erythroparvovirus pinniped1, Seal parvovirus
Erythroparvovirus primate1, Human parvovirus B19
Erythroparvovirus primate2, Simian parvovirus
Erythroparvovirus primate3, Rhesus macaque parvovirus
Erythroparvovirus primate4, Pig-tailed macaque parvovirus
Erythroparvovirus rodent1, Chipmunk parvovirus
Erythroparvovirus ungulate1, Bovine parvovirus 3

Structure

Viruses in Erythroparvovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and T=1 symmetry. The diameter is around 18-26 nm. Genomes are linear, around 6kb in length.^[3]

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the rolling-hairpin model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export. Transmission routes are oral and respiratory.^[3]
