Correct Answer: Parvovirus
Description: ParvoviridaeParvoviruses (from Latin parvus meaning small) are very small viruses with a paicle size of about 18-26 nm. The paicles have cubic symmetry, with 32 capsomeres, but they have no envelope. The genome is linear, single-stranded DNA, averaging 5 kb in size. Replication occurs only in activelydividing cells; capsid assembly takes place in the nucleus of the infected cell. Human parvovirus B19 replicates in immature erythroid cells and causes several adverse consequences, including aplastic crisis, fifth disease, and fetal death.Ref: Jawetz Medical Microbiology; 27th edition; Chapter 29; General Propeies of Viruses; Page no: 401
