The genome of Papilio polyxenes densovirus was cloned and sequenced and contained 5,053 nucleotides (nt), including inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of 271 nt with terminal hairpins of 175 nt. Its DNA sequence and monosense organization with 3 open reading frames (ORFs) are typical of the genus Iteravirus in the subfamily Densovirinae of the Parvoviridae.
