In news- Nearly, 2,000 pets and stray dogs in Maharashtra’s Amravati were infected with the Canine Parvovirus recently.

About Parvovirus-

  • Canine parvovirus (also referred to as CPV, CPV2, or parvo) is a highly contagious viral disease that can also be life-threatening in puppies and dogs. 
  • It affects the gastrointestinal tract of canines with puppies being more susceptible. 
  • Bloody diarrhoea, vomiting, drastic weight loss, dehydration and lethargy are some of the symptoms. 
  • The virus has reported a 90 percent mortality rate.
  • It spreads through direct contact with an infected dog or by indirect contact with a contaminated object, including the hands and clothing of people who handle infected dogs.
  • The dogs can get exposed to the parvovirus every time it sniffs, licks, or consume infected faeces. 
  • Indirect transmission occurs when a person who has recently been exposed to an infected dog touches the puppy, or when a puppy encounters a contaminated object, like food or water bowl, collars and leashes.
  • Parvo, being a resistant virus, easily survives in the environment, and anything can be contaminated with it, including leaves and grass. 
  • Parvovirus has no cure and inoculating a puppy or a dog gives them a fighting chance against the infection. 
  • The first dose is given at 45 days old and the second 21 days after the first dose. 
  • To properly protect canines, it is necessary to administer the vaccine to them while they are puppies and then continue to do the same every year.
