CONT

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a member of the parvovirus family of single-stranded small DNA viruses that require a helper virus, such as adenovirus or herpes simplex virus for replication. Although the majority of the population is seropositive for AAV, the virus is not associated with any pathology in humans.

CONT

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is unique in the viral world because it has never been shown to have any pathogenic effects in humans, and most of the population has been exposed to AAV early in life. This recommends it as a vehicle for gene therapy. ... interest has widened in the development of AAV vectors for gene delivery.
