    This document summarizes several families of human DNA viruses including their size, capsid structure, nucleic acid type, genome organization, and notable members. The largest family described is the Herpesviridae with viruses 150nm in size, double stranded DNA genomes over 100kb, and members including herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus. The smallest family listed is the Parvoviridae which have virions 20nm in size and single stranded DNA genomes around 5kb including adeno-associated virus and B19.
