Parvoviridaestrcture
DNA, naked, icosahedral
Coat proeins o parvoiridae
VP1 and VP2
Members of paroviridae
Human parvovirus B19, Feline
panleukopenia virus, Canine parvovirus, H1
and Dependoviruses (AAV-2)
Replication of parvo
Replication: Requires actively dividing cells
(lacks its own DNA polymerase)
Transmxsion of parvo
Transmission: Mainly respiratory route,
blood, and transplacenta
Attachent and entryof parvovirus
Attachment and Entry-> erythrocyte P
antigen (also called globoside)
Nuclear Replication of parvovirus
> DNA Polymerase,
Cellular Machinery for Replication
Assembly and Release-> apoptosis due to
cytopathic effect
Assembly and release of parvovrus
apoptosis due to
cytopathic effect
Erythroparvovirus (Parvovirus B19) –
infects humans
Dependoparvovirus (Adeno-Associated
Viruses, AAVs) –
requires helper viruses for
replication.
Bocaparvovirus –
respiratory infections in
children.
Infects immature erythrocytes
HUMAN PARVOVIRUS B19
How is human parvovirus b19 transmitted
Transmission: Respiratorytransmission, blood products
and vertical transmission
Can beshown in anemic patients and those with hyrops fetalis on preggy
Human parvovirus b 19
➢ “Slapped-cheek” rash, fever, malaise
Human parvovirus
Pathogenesis of parvovirus b19
- Entry: Virus binds to P antigen (globoside) on
erythroid progenitor cells. - Replication: Occurs in actively dividing cells
(e.g., bone marrow). - Cytopathic Effect: Causes destruction of
erythroid precursors, leading to anemia. - Immune Response: Rash appears due to
immune complex formation.
●
Direct cytopathic effect: Lysis of infected
erythroid progenitors leads to decreased red
blood cell production.
Parvovirus b 19
Viral suppression of erythropoiesis leads to
anemia, especially in individuals with
underlying hematologic disorders.
Human parvovirus b19
How to detect parvovirus
Pcr, serology, bm biopsy, nuckeuc acid hybriization test
