    Parafermion algebras were introduced in the context of conformal field theory. They are essentially the \(Z\)-algebras appearing in the process of studying the representation theory of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. Also, parafermion algebras generate certain generalized vertex operator algebras. This paper is a continuation of the authors work on parafermion vertex operator algebras associated to an integrable highest weight module for an arbitrary affine Kac-Moody algebra. The structure of this parafermion vertex operator algebra is studied. In particular, a set of generators for this algebra has been determined.
