Abstract excerpt
Parvovirus B19 (B19), currently the only accepted member of the Erythrovirus genus, is the only parvovirus known to be pathogenic in humans. Recently a viral sequence, tentatively termed V9 which showed 11% variability from the published B19 sequences, was described from a patient with aplastic crisis. To search for additional parvovirus variants, we used the new NS1/7.5EC PCR assay whose primers were designed...
