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
[edit]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
[edit]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]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erythroparvovirus | Icosahedral | T=1 | Non-enveloped | Linear | None |
Life cycle
[edit]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]
