Abstract
Parvoviruses are among the smallest known DNA-containing viruses that infect mammalian cells. At least five different parvoviruses are known to infect humans. Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is the best characterized, and is classified as a member of the Erythroparvovirus genus. The other human viruses are the human adeno-associated viruses (AAVs, or dependoparvoviruses); human bocaparvovirus (HBoV); human Parv4 virus, a member of the newly created Tetraparvovirus genus; and the human protoparvoviruses—human bufavirus (BuV), tusavirus (TuV), and cutavirus (CuV). B19V infection has a wide variety of disease manifestations dependent on the immunologic and hematologic status of the host, including erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) in children, symmetrical polyarthropathy in adults, transient or chronic red cell aplasia in those with increased erythropoiesis or immunosuppression, respectively, and hydrops fetalis after infection in pregnancy. Human bocavirus 1 is associated with respiratory infection. The role of the other human parvoviruses in causing disease is less clear.
