Figure 2. Phylogenetic analysis of a 178-bp sequence of ORF1 of PARV4 and PARV5 (GenBank accession no. DQ112361) with other members of the Parvoviridae subfamily. The alignment includes the members of the Erythrovirus genus (parvovirus B19 [5]) and related viruses such as V9 (6), D91.1 (7), and A6 (8), as well as the closely related viruses infecting the cynomolgus macaque (LTMPV) (9) and rhesus (RMPV) and pig-tailed macaques (PTMPV) (10). Two other viruses tentatively assigned to the group include a parvovirus isolated from chipmunks (11); BPV3, a novel bovine parvovirus (BPV3) (12); and porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV2) (13). Analysis was performed by using the program ClustalW (14).
