Global Co-Existence of Two Evolutionary Lineages of Parvovirus B19 1a, Different in Genome-Wide Synonymous Positions

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) can cause infection in humans. To date, three genotypes of B19V, with subtypes, are known, of which genotype 1a is the most prevalent genotype in the Western world. We sequenced the genome of B19V strains of 65 asymptomatic, recently infected Dutch blood donors, to investigate...
