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.
Schematic diagram of a Parvoviridae virion A diagram of the canine parvovirus's capsid, containing 60 monomers of the capsid protein. Parvovirus virions are 23–28 nanometers (nm) in diameter and consist of the genome enclosed inside a capsid that is icosahedral in shape with a rugged surface. The capsid is composed of 60 structurally ...
Carnivore protoparvovirus 1 is a species of parvovirus that infects carnivorans.It causes a highly contagious disease in both dogs and cats separately. The disease is generally divided into two major genogroups: FPV containing the classical feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV), and CPV-2 containing the canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) which appeared in the 1970s.
Human parvovirus B19, generally referred to as B19 virus (B19V), parvovirus B19 [1] or sometimes erythrovirus B19, [2] is a known human virus in the family Parvoviridae, genus Erythroparvovirus; it measures only 23–26 nm in diameter. [3] Human parvovirus b19 is a below-species classification of Erythroparvovirus primate1. [4]
Cases of parvovirus B19 have jumped in the U.S. Here’s what you need to know about the illness that affects dogs and humans, causing a “slapped cheek” look.
Parvovirus particles can infected by exposure to infected water or by cannibalism of tissues of infected hosts. [1] Cannibalism is ordinary among crustacean species and can intensify as the pressure increases in the communities, such as high density, low oxygen, and low food availability, which are commonly found in shrimp farms.

The virus was isolated from a testicle of a boar 5 days after it was injected into the boar's prepuce [82] and from testicles of boars killed 5 and 8 days after they were infected oronasally (Mengeling, unpublished data 1976). Virus was also isolated from scrotal lymph nodes of boars killed 5, 8, 15, 21, and 35 days after oronasal exposure.
A lethal infection in mink, the Aleutian disease virus lies dormant in ferrets until stress or injury allows it to surface. While the parvovirus itself causes little or no harm to the ferret host, the large number of antibodies produced in response to the presence of the virus results in a systemic vasculitis, resulting in eventual renal failure, bone marrow suppression and death.
