Novel parvovirus sublineage in the family of Parvoviridae.

Parvoviridae, which are classified into two subfamilies Parvovirinae and Densovirinae, can infect both vertebrate and insects and are related to a wide range of diseases in insects, animals, and humans. In this report, several new parvoviruses were identified in swine sera collected in southeastern China. The sequence analyses showed that the parvoviruses detected in southeastern China formed a distinct sublineage within the subfamily Parvovirinae. Based on these results, we propose a novel parvovirus sublineage, Cnvirus, to describe these parvoviruses.
