Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects dogs, especially puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Here are some key points about its causes:
- Virus Origin: CPV is believed to have originated from the feline panleukopenia virus, which mutated to infect dogs.
- Transmission: The virus spreads through direct contact with infected dogs or their feces, as well as through indirect contact with contaminated objects like bedding, food bowls, and toys.
- Environmental Persistence: CPV can survive in the environment for several months, making it easy for dogs to contract the virus from contaminated areas.
- Susceptible Groups: Puppies between 6 weeks and 6 months old, as well as unvaccinated dogs, are most at risk. Certain breeds like Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, and German Shepherds are also more susceptible.
- Stress Factors: Stressful conditions such as weaning, overcrowding, and malnutrition can increase the severity of the illness.
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent CPV. If you have a puppy or an unvaccinated dog, it’s crucial to keep them away from potentially contaminated environments until they are fully vaccinated.
