Canine parvovirus (also referred to as CPV, CPV2, or parvo) is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs and wolves. CPV is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. Vaccines can prevent this infection, but mortality can reach 91% in untreated cases.

The virus that causes the disease known as “parvo”, canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV), first emerged among dogs in Europe around 1976. By 1978 the virus had spread unchecked, causing a worldwide epidemic of myocarditis and inflammation in the intestines (gastroenteritis).

CPV2 is the disease commonly associated with the parvovirus since its mutation from CPV1 in the 1970s. This highly contagious disease is spread by direct or indirect contact with infected feces. If left untreated, CPV2 has a 91% mortality rate. With proper hospitalization, survival rate is 80%.

2022年8月17日 · Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is the most common cause of viral enteritis in dogs. Three antigenic canine variants, CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c, have been identified, but they are 99% genetically similar. 12

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) emerged in late 1970s causing severe epizootics in kennels and dog shelters worldwide. Soon after its emergence, CPV-2 underwent genetic evolution giving rise consecutively to two antigenic variants, CPV-2a …

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and relatively common cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young and/or unvaccinated dogs. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from feline panleukopenia virus.

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) attacks the gastrointestinal tract of puppies and dogs. There are 3 variants of the virus, CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c, which evolved only a few years after the first antigenic variants were discovered.

Mutations in canine parvovirus (CPV) field isolates have created concerns regarding the ability of vaccines containing CPV-2 to protect against infection with the newly identified antigenic types CPV-2b and CPV-2c.

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is highly contagious and attacks the gastrointestinal tract of puppies and dogs. There are 3 variants of the virus, CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c. CPV-2 is one of the most common infectious diseases of dogs. Death can occur as early as 2 days after the onset of illness. 20. Merck Animal Health Solutions. For Canine ...

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a relevant pathogen, mainly affecting unvaccinated puppies, causing severe and fatal disease. CPV is classified into three variants (CPV-2a, CPV-2b and CPV-2c), which are widely distributed worldwide.
