The family Parvoviridae comprises a large and diverse set of animal viruses, found in invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Features are an ssDNA genome encapsidated in an icosahedral protein shell of about 20–28 nm, a diverse strategy to express genomes of small dimensions, and a strict dependence on the cell environment for productive infection. Within the family, viruses are found that can infect humans, with different characteristics related to epidemiology, virus-cell interactions and potential to cause diseases. Most relevant for its pathogenetic potential is Parvovirus B19, others include the human Bocaviruses, the Human Tetraparvovirus and novel Human Protoparvoviruses.

Abstract
The family Parvoviridae comprises a large and diverse set of animal viruses, found in invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Features are an ssDNA genome encapsidated in an icosahedral protein shell of about 20–28 nm, a diverse strategy to express genomes of small dimensions, and a strict dependence on the cell environment for productive infection. Within the family, viruses are found that can infect humans, with different characteristics related to epidemiology, virus-cell interactions and potential to cause diseases. Most relevant for its pathogenetic potential is Parvovirus B19, others include the human Bocaviruses, the Human Tetraparvovirus and novel Human Protoparvoviruses.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
