Dependoparvovirus

Dependoparvovirus (formerly Dependovirus or Adeno-associated virus group) is a genus in the virus subfamily Parvovirinae, within the family Parvoviridae; they are Group II viruses according to the Baltimore classification. Some dependoparvoviruses are also known as adeno-associated viruses because they cannot replicate productively in their host cell without the cell being coinfected by a helper virus such as an adenovirus, a herpesvirus, or a vaccinia virus.
