Introduction
Circoviruses are the smallest known viruses of vertebrates and plants, and cause immunosuppressive infections of pigs, poultry, and parrots. No vaccines are currently available against them.
Morphology
- Genome is a single molecule of circular positive-sense DNA, which encodes for one major capsid protein
Virulence and Pathogenesis
- Viruses are very stable in the environment
