i think it's Family Parvoviridae (20-25 nm in diameter), that's is according to the book of Maria Danessa Delost entitled Introduction to Diagnostic Microbiology, page 338 isn't it the polio virus??
The smallestRNA viruses in terms of genome size are the smallest of the retroviruses (eg Rous Sarcoma Virus); genome 3.5 kb, particle diameter 80 nm. The smallest DNA viruses are the hepadnaviruses (eg hepatitis B) (3.2 kb, 42 nm). The parvoviruses have smaller capsids (18-26 nm), but a larger genome (5 kb). Viroids are infectious agents of plants that are comprised of a single small molecule of RNA. They lack a capsid and are not considered to be viruses. The smallest DNA bacteriophage is phi X174 which I believe is larger than Hepa B. RNA phages typically contain about 4 kb. I don't believe there are any plant viruses smaller than what I've noted.

Alfalfa mosaic Virus is the smallest plant virus.
Alfamosaic virus
the virus is the smallest, a bacteria is usally bigger than a virus and a fungi is usally bigger than a bacteria
No. The smallest infective particle is a protein called a prion.
Bacteria cells. They are the smallest living thing on Earth (known to man).

The virus is the smallest of the microorganisms followed by bacteria, protozoans and worms
Virus
ssDNA circoviruses are the smallest viruses.. They infect mainly birds. They are considered to be the smallest virus that causes diseases in animals.
