Parvovirus B19 was discovered twenty-five years ago. Recently, an easy method of culture was formulated that will permit a better understanding, at the cellular level, of the particular form of anaemia induced by this virus.
Keywords: human parvovirus; erythroid progenitors; CD34+ cells; CD36+ cells
