Parvoviruses cause infections in a wide variety of birds and mammals. Parvovirus, commonly called parvo, is a genus of the Parvoviridae family linear, non-segmented single stranded DNA viruses with an average genome size of 5 kbp. Parvoviruses are some of the smallest viruses found in nature. Parvovirus B19 infection is common among children and adults and is often asymptomatic. Parvovirus B19 infection can result in serious and occasionally fatal hematologic diseases in susceptible patients, and is the cause of "fifth disease", a highly contagious infection of childhood. Parvovirus B19 can also infect the fetus causing severe anemia, congestive heart failure, and death in utero or at birth.
