  Indian Journal of Medical Research: Erythrovirus B19 infection in humans
Erythrovirus B19 (19) previously called parvovirus B19 is the only human pathogen in the family Parvoviridae.
The erythrovirus B19 (B19) previously known as parvovirus 1319 is among the smallest of the animal DNA viruses.
Cossart and colleagues' in 1975 discovered the human erythrovirus B19, the only member in the Parvoviridae family that is pathogenic to man, while screening healthy blood donors for hepatitis B. The virus was independently described also in France and Japan, where it was called Aurillac or Nakatani antigen respectively2.

Erythrovirus (formerly parvovirus) B19 causes a wide range of diseases in humans, including anemia due to aplastic crisis.
Erythrovirus B19 sequences 1 (ebu38506) and 2 (ebu38507) were isolated from Chinese patients, and B19 sequence 24 (pvb19x556) came from a patient suffering from persistent B19 infection.

B19 virus is a human virus belonging to the genus Erythrovirus: The genetic diversity among B19 virus isolates has been reported to be very low, with less than 2% nucleotide divergence in the whole genome sequence.
We have previously reported the isolation of a human erythrovirus isolate, termed V9, whose sequence was markedly distinct (>11% nucleotide divergence) from that of B19 virus.
Additional phylogenetic analysis of partial sequences from the V9-related isolates combined with erythrovirus sequences available in GenBank indicates that the erythrovirus group is more diverse than thought previously and can be divided into three well-individualized genotypes, with B19 viruses corresponding to genotype 1 and V9-related viruses being distributed into genotypes 2 and 3.

Based on ethical considerations alone, research into therapeutic cloning should be encouraged in order to develop therapeutic applications of stem cells.
Diagnosis of erythrovirus B19 (B19) relies on serology and the detection of viral DNA.
Recently, a distinct erythrovirus isolate termed V9, markedly different from erythrovirus B19 (> 11% nucleotide disparity), was isolated.

It's believed that this is caused by VP2, as this structural protein can induce the production of autoantibodies for keratin, collagen, and cardiolipin due to cross-reactivity.
HPV B-19 virus infects and lyses erythroid progenitor cells in the bone-marrow (hence the name erythrovirus), which are the precursors for red-blood- cells (remember, parvovirus can only infect cells that are actively replicating, as the virus has no way of forcing the cell into mitosis).
The virus uses the blood group cell receptor P antigen found on erythroblasts, megakaryoblasts, endothelial cells, and fetal myocardial cells.

Erythrovirus B19 infection is usually benign but may have serious consequences in patients with hemolytic anemia (transient aplastic crisis), immunodeficiency (in whom persistent infection can lead to chronic bone marrow failure with anemia), or who are in the first or second trimester of gestation (spontaneous abortion, hydrops fetalis, and fetal death).
Erythrovirus (formerly parvovirus) B19 and the novel Erythrovirus V9 are by now the only parvoviruses implied in human disease (Laub and Strengers 2002).

 UpToDate Epidemiology and laboratory diagnosis of parvovirus B19 infection
The focus here will be limited to those viruses of the former subfamily that cause human illness: the Erythrovirus genera, which consists of B19, A6, K71 and V9 strains.
These three newly described variants of B19 have overall nucleotide sequence variations of 11 to 12 percent compared to B19; the divergence at the amino acid level among strains is significantly less than that seen at the nucleotide level.
Unless otherwise specified, human parvovirus B19 (B19) will be the strain referred to when describing the spectrum of disease manifestations, epidemiologic patterns and diagnostic testing related to Erythrovirus infections.

Parvovirus B19 is an erythrovirus causing diverse clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic or mild, to more severe outcomes in, for example, immune-compromised patients.
B19 is spread primarily via the respiratory route, but it can also be transmitted via blood and blood products.
The assay is validated according to current guidelines (of the International Conference on Harmonization, Paul Ehrlich Institute, and the Council of Europe) and is optimized for high throughput screening.
