Parvovirus B19 is the only member of the Parvoviridae family that has been found to infect human hosts. It was discovered in 1974, when a research group looking at hepatitis B surface antigens found a serum sample with unexpected results. Another lab in Japan described a similar virus in 1979 that they called "Nakatami". When compared, the two were found to be identical.

In 1985 this virus was officially recognized as a member of the Parvoviridae family due to its similarities in genome size and density.
