Parvovirus B19 1A complete genome from a fatal case in Brazil

Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz. 2015 Sep;110(6):820-1. doi: 10.1590/0074-02760150261.

Abstract

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infects individuals worldwide and is associated with an ample range of pathologies and clinical manifestations. B19V is classified into three distinct genotypes, all identified in Brazil. Here, we report a complete sequence of a B19V genotype 1A that was obtained by high-throughput metagenomic sequencing. This genome provides information that will contribute to the studies on B19V epidemiology and evolution.
