PMCID: PMC7134481  PMID: 8389070

Abstract

Canine parvovirus type-2 is a new canine pathogen that emerged in the late 1970s. The origin, spread, and evolution of the virus are reviewed. The present pattern of disease and current concepts of diagnosis, clinical management, and prevention are discussed.
