Iteradensovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Parvoviridae, in the subfamily Densovirinae. Insects serve as natural hosts. There are currently five species in this genus including the type species Lepidopteran iteradensovirus 1.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: ssDNA

Structure

Viruses in Iteradensovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and Round geometries, and T=1 symmetry. The diameter is around 21-22 nm. Genomes are linear, around 5kb in length.[1]

Life Cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the rolling-hairpin model. Dna templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. Insects serve as the natural host.[1]
