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.

For the vaccine VP2/VP1 VLPs (virus-like particle) were used. This vaccine was approved to the I clinical phase, but was stopped due to unexplained reactions in patients.
