Technical information
Background on Canine Parvovirus (CPV)
The Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly infectious pathogen that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract of dogs. The virus belongs to the Parvoviridae family and is an unenveloped single-strand DNA virus. Due to its high environmental resistance, it can survive in the environment for months and is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route. Unvaccinated puppies aged four to twelve weeks are especially susceptible to infection.
Disease Course and Symptoms
The incubation period is typically 3 to 7 days, after which the first clinical symptoms appear. Typical signs of a CPV infection include severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, and lethargy. In severe cases, the disease can be fatal within a few days, especially if early treatment is not administered. Dogs with weakened immune systems and young puppies without adequate vaccination protection are particularly affected.
Recent Developments
In recent years, new CPV variants (CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c) have been identified, which differ slightly in their pathogenicity. Studies show that CPV-2c is becoming increasingly widespread worldwide and may have increased virulence. There are also indications that some of these variants can infect cats, expanding the zoonotic significance of CPV.
Prevention
Vaccination is the most effective preventive measure against Canine Parvovirus. The Standing Committee on Vaccination in Veterinary Medicine (StIKo Vet) recommends primary vaccination for puppies at 8, 12, and 16 weeks, followed by a booster shot at 15 months. After that, the vaccination should be renewed every three years to ensure long-term protection.
In addition, hygienic measures are crucial to control the spread of the virus. In households with a CPV infection, contaminated surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with virucidal disinfectants, as conventional cleaning products are often ineffective against the resistant virus.
