Parvoviruses are among the smallest viruses (hence the name, from Latin parvus meaning small) and are 18–28 nm in diameter. [16] Parvoviruses can cause disease in some animals, including starfish and humans. Because the viruses require actively dividing cells to replicate, the type of tissue infected varies with the age of the animal.
The virus originated in cats, the vector of feline panleukopenia, but a mutation that changed just two amino acids in the viral capsid protein VP2 [14] allowed it to cross the species barrier, and dogs, unlike cats, had no resistance to the disease. [15] Canine distemper virus is closely related to measles virus and is the most important viral ...

Called zoonotic viruses, they spill over from animals to humans, who can then transmit them to other humans. ... Flu viruses like 2009’s H1N1 and vector-borne diseases like Crimean-Congo ...
An infectious disease is caused by the presence of organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites (either animalian or protozoan).Most of these diseases are spread directly from dog to dog, while others require a vector such as a tick or mosquito. [2]
The virus can cause a fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, behavioral changes, and drowsiness, according to the CDC. Most people infected with eastern equine encephalitis do not develop ...
