The viral genus Circovirus is a part of the family of Circoviridae and contains viral species with circular single-stranded DNA genomes. These viruses are known to infect vertebrate species, including pigs[1] dogs[2] and birds such as pigeons[3] and ducks.[4]

The virions of the Circoviruses are surprisingly small, their diameters ranging from 17 up to 22 nm. [5]
