Simian parvovirus (SPV) is a member of the genus Erythrovirus and is closely related to the human parvovirus B19. Natural and experimental infection of monkeys with SPV resembles B19 infection of human. We report a detailed characterization of the viral RNAs and proteins generated following transfection of cloned SPV into COS cells and SPV infection of the human erythroid progenitor line UT-7/Epo-S1. SPV and B19 are 50% identical at the nucleotide level, and although their basic transcription an ...[more]
