Structural Characterization of Cuta- and Tusavirus: Insight into Protoparvoviruses Capsid Morphology

Several members of the <i>Protoparvovirus</i> genus, capable of infecting humans, have been recently discovered, including cutavirus (CuV) and tusavirus (TuV). To begin the characterization of these viruses, we have used cryo-electron microscopy and image reconstruction to determine thei...
