The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species: • Erythroparvovirus pinniped1, Seal parvovirus • Erythroparvovirus primate1, Human parvovirus B19 • Erythroparvovirus primate2, Simian parvovirus • Erythroparvovirus primate3, Rhesus macaque parvovirus • Erythroparvovirus primate4, Pig-tailed macaque parvovirus • Erythroparvovirus rodent1, Chipmunk parvovirus • Erythroparvovirus ungulate1, Bovine parvovirus 3 ==Structure==

Viruses in Erythroparvovirus 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. Transmission routes are oral and respiratory. ==References==
