ABSENCE of PARVOVIRUS SHEDDING in FECES of THREATENED CARNIVORES from MISIONES, Argentina
Since its emergence in the 1970s, canine parvovirus (CPV) has spread worldwide and infects a wide variety of mammalian hosts, including domestic and nondomestic carnivores. Today it is one of the most important pathogenic viruses associated with high morbidity and mortality in domestic dogs (Canis f...
