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.
Protoparvovirus is a genus of viruses in the Parvovirinae subfamily of the virus family Parvoviridae. [2] [3] Vertebrates serve as natural hosts.There are 15 species in the genus [4] including Rodent protoparvovirus 1 for which the exemplar virus is minute virus of mice (MVM).
Although canine distemper is lethal in dogs, it has not been recorded to kill wolves, except in Canada and Alaska. The canine parvovirus, which causes death by dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and endotoxic shock or sepsis, is largely survivable in wolves, but can be lethal to pups. Wolves may catch infectious canine hepatitis from dogs ...
A mature virion has cubic symmetry, two or three capsid proteins, a diameter of approximately 20 nm, 32 capsomeres, no envelope or essential lipids, and a weight of 5.3 × 10 6 daltons. The viral genome is single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with a molecular weight of 1.4 × 10 6 (i.e., about 26.5% of the weight of the complete virion).
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]
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.
