Brevihamaparvovirus is a genus of viruses in subfamily Hamaparvovirinae of the family Parvoviridae . [1] [2] Mosquitoes serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus. [3] [4]
The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species: [4] [5]
Viruses in genus Brevihamaparvovirus are non-enveloped and have T=1 icosahedral symmetry. The diameter is around 21-22 nm. Genomes are linear, around 4kb in length. [3] [1]

| Brevihamaparvovirus | Icosahedral | T=1 | Non-enveloped | Linear | None |
Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the rolling-hairpin model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. Mosquitoes serve as the natural host. [3] [1]
