Until recently, parvovirus B19 and adeno-associated viruses, which belong to the genera Erythrovirus and Dependovirus , respectively, were the only known members of the family Parvoviridae that infected humans ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)
AAV belongs to the Parvoviridae family and Dependovirus genus, whose members require co-infection with a helper virus such as adenovirus to promote replication, and AAV establishes a latent infection in the absence of a helper. (justia.com)
Because a co-infecting helper virus (such as adenovirus or herpes simplex virus) or induction of cellular stress is usually required for a productive infection to occur, AAV serotypes are ascribed to a separate genus in the Parvoviridae family designated Dependovirus. (vectorbiolabs.com)
Adeno-Assoc1
The Dependovirus adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small parvovirus that requires a helper co-infection to replicate (either adenovirus or herpes simplex virus) and is not directly associated with a disease in its own right. (medscape.com)
Genus1
only the adeno-associated parvoviruses (members of the dependovirus genus) and B19 are known to infect humans. (cdc.gov)
Replication3
5. Which of the following viruses help dependovirus for replication? (sanfoundry.com)
Answer: a Explanation: Adenoviruses acts as a helper virus that helps in the replication of dependovirus. (sanfoundry.com)
However, all the dependovirus does not require adenovirus for replication. (sanfoundry.com)
