[3][4] The following seven species are assigned to the genus:[4] Viruses in Erythroparvovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and T=1 symmetry.

Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export.

Primates serve as the natural host.

Transmission routes are oral and respiratory.
