Targeted gene transfer by genetic capsid modification of recombinant adeno associated virus 2, 2005:p. 1 (The development of safe and efficient gene transfer vectors is essential to achieving long-term success for gene therapy. One of the most promising viral vectors is based on adeno-associated virus (AAV), a member of the parvovirus family. AAV is also known as dependovirus because it requires the presence of a helper virus to complete its replicative life cycle)

Wikipedia description:

Dependoparvovirus (formerly Dependovirus or Adeno-associated virus group) is a genus in the subfamily Parvovirinae of the virus family Parvoviridae; they are Group II viruses according to the Baltimore classification. The name refers to the fact that all dependoviruses, except duck parvovirus and goose parvovirus (both classified as Anseriform dependoparvovirus 1), cannot replicate productively in their host cell without the cell being coinfected by a helper virus such as an adenovirus, a herpesvirus, or a vaccinia virus.
