Parvoviruses are currently being studied for use as possible genetic vectors in gene therapy. They are small, non-enveloped viruses of icosahedral structure, and possess a single-stranded DNA genome of approximately 5,000 ...

Parvoviruses are small, non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses that contain a linear, single-stranded DNA genome of approximately 5000 bp. Parvovirus LuIII is an autonomous parvovirus that shares up to 80% of sequence homology ...
