Canine parvovirus (CPV, “parvo”) is a virus that mainly affects dogs and is believed to haveoriginated from a mutation of feline panleukopenia virus into CPV2. CPV infection is highlycontagious and is spread by direct or indirect contact with feces of infected dogs. Signs ofinfection include lethargy, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea. Because the intestinal lining becomescompromised, blood and protein leak into the intestines, leading to anemia and loss of protein, and endotoxins reach the bloodstream, causing endotoxemia. Vaccines can prevent infection, butmortality can reach 91% in untreated cases. Canine parvovirus may infect other mammalsincluding foxes, wolves, cats, and skunks, but no cases of CPV infection of humans have beenreported.
