Copiparvovirus

Copiparvovirus is a genus of viruses in subfamily Parvovirinae of the virus family Parvoviridae. There are 10 species in this genus.

Taxonomy

The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species:

Structure

Viruses in genus Copiparvovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and T=1 symmetry. The diameter is around 18-26 nm. Genomes are linear, around 6kb in length.

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the rolling-hairpin model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export.
