Single-stranded DNA virusesViruses in this category include the Anelloviridae, Circoviridae, and Parvoviridae (which infect vertebrates), the Geminiviridae and Nanoviridae(which infect plants), and the Microviridae (which infect prokaryotes). Most of them have circular genomes (the parvoviruses are the only known exception). Eukaryote-infecting viruses replicate mostly within the nucleus - usually via a rolling circle mechanism, forming double-stranded DNA intermediate in the process. A prevalent but asymptomatic human Anellovirus, called Transfusion Transmitted Virus (TTV), is included within this classification.

§ Family Parvoviridae - includes Parvovirus B19

There are a number of additional viruses that have not been classified to date. These are the parvovirus like viruses. These viruses has linear single stranded DNA genomes but unlike the parvoviruses the genome is bipartate. This group includes the Ina-flacherie virus (Bombyx mori parvo-like virus), Lymphoidal parvo-like virus, Hepatopancreatic parvo-like virus and Bombyx mori densovirus type 2. They have only been isolated from invertebrates to date and their relationships to other groups has not yet been established.

The virus has DNA as its genetic material. More interesting, the DNA is single-stranded. "Parvo" is short for "parvovirus" and usually "canine parvovirus type 2."


What are the four ways to name a virus?

Major groups of viruses are distinguished first by their nucleic acid content as either RNA or DNA viruses. Subsequent subdivisions are based largely on other properties of nucleic acids. The RNA viruses can be single-stranded (ssRNA) or double-stranded (dsRNA), although most are single-stranded. Because most eukaryotic cells do not have the enzymes to copy viral RNA molecules, the RNA viruses must either carry the enzymes or have the genes for those enzymes as part of their genes. Like RNA viruses, DNA viruses can also occur in single-stranded or double-stranded form.

Is the bacteria streptococcus single-celled or multi-cellular?

Streptococcus bacteria are single-celled organisms. They are spherical or oval in shape and typically form chains, giving them their name "streptococcus," which means twisted chain in Latin.


Name for a single celled organisim?

Life consists of three domains; Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya. Of these domains, Archaea and Bacteria consist exclusively of single celled organisms. Additionally, one of the four kingdoms of Eukarya, i.e. Protista, consists of single celled organisms.So single celled organisms could be referred to as Archaea, Bacteria and Protista.
