Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2010 Nov;40(6):1041-53. doi: 10.1016/j.cvsm.2010.07.007.

Abstract

Since its emergence in 1978, canine parvoviral enteritis has remained a common and important cause of morbidity and mortality in young dogs. The continued incidence of parvoviral enteritis is partly due to the virus's capability to "reinvent" itself and evolve into new, more virulent and resistant subspecies. This article reviews current knowledge about the virus, its epidemiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, management, and prevention.
