Adeno-associated viruses are small viruses that infect humans and some other primate species. They belong to the genus Dependoparvovirus, which in turn belongs to the family Parvoviridae. They are sma

A satellite is a subviral agent that depends on the coinfection of a host cell with a helper virus for its replication. Satellites can be divided into two major groups: satellite viruses and satellite

…to the genus Dependoparvovirus, which in turn belongs to the family Parvoviridae. They are small (approximately 26 nmTooltip nanometers in diameter) replication-defective, non-enveloped viruses and have linear single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes of approximately 4.8 kilobases (kb). Several features make AAV an attractive…
