The U.S. does not have routine surveillance for parvovirus B19, nor is it a notifiable condition. There is no vaccine or recommended treatment. Prior infection is thought to give lifelong immunity ...
Human parvovirus B19, generally referred to as B19 virus (B19V), parvovirus B19 [1] or sometimes erythrovirus B19, [2] is a known human virus in the family Parvoviridae, genus Erythroparvovirus; it measures only 23–26 nm in diameter. [3] Human parvovirus b19 is a below-species classification of Erythroparvovirus primate1. [4]

Cases of parvovirus B19 have jumped in the U.S. Here’s what you need to know about the illness that affects dogs and humans, causing a “slapped cheek” look.
Recovery from parvovirus B19 infection is achieved by production of IgM antibodies which are specific for virus and are generated 10–12 days after infection. [5] After day 16, when signs of fifth disease (red rashes) and arthralgia (pain in joints) becomes apparent, specific anti B19 IgG is produced by immune cells.
Schematic diagram of a Parvoviridae virion A diagram of the canine parvovirus's capsid, containing 60 monomers of the capsid protein. Parvovirus virions are 23–28 nanometers (nm) in diameter and consist of the genome enclosed inside a capsid that is icosahedral in shape with a rugged surface. The capsid is composed of 60 structurally ...
