Canine Parvovirus(CPV) is a virus that poses a serious threat to canine health, and is especially prevalent and severe in puppies. In this article, we will reveal the pathogenesis, transmission routes, clinical symptoms, and prevention and control methods of CPV.

1. Pathogenesis

Canine Parvovirus(CPV) belongs to the family of polioviridae and the genus poliovirus. Under the electron microscope, CPV virus particles are round or hexagonal in appearance, without capsular structure, with a diameter of about 20 to 24 nm, and the genome of the virus is a single-stranded negative-stranded DNA virus, with a genome consisting of about 5,200 nucleotides.

2.Transmission of CPV

CPV is mainly transmitted through direct contact with saliva, faeces and urine of infected dogs. The virus can survive in contaminated environments for months to years, with no significant change in infectivity at low temperatures. In addition, CPV can also be transmitted indirectly through clothing, floors, utensils, etc.

3.Clinical symptoms

Dogs infected with CPV will only show symptoms such as vomiting, tomato-coloured diarrhoea, loss of appetite and dehydration. The myocarditis type may show death without aura or fast and weak pulse, respiratory distress, mild diarrhoea, and death by exhaustion in a short time. Due to the seriousness of the disease, if not treated in time, the mortality rate is very high.

4. Prevention and control methods

Prevention: Regular vaccination against CPV is the most effective way to prevent canine poliovirus infection. The vaccine should be administered as early as possible and strengthened once a year. Meanwhile, avoid buying or adopting pets from infected dogs. New parents should choose adoption instead of purchase. For dog owners, they should choose the correct disinfection method to kill CPV to prevent the spread of the virus.

The Canine Parvovirus Antigen Rapid Test is a rapid test for Canine Parvovirus Antigen. The test determines whether a dog is infected with CPV in a short period of time, providing the basis for prompt treatment and preventing further spread of the disease.

The test is usually performed using a stool, vomit or blood sample from the dog. The presence of CPV antigen in the sample is quickly detected using a specific antigen detection kit. A positive test result indicates that the dog has been infected with the virus.

The Canine Parvovirus Antigen Rapid Test has the advantages of being easy to use, fast and accurate, which makes it important for the early detection and treatment of canine CPV infections. At the same time, it is also one of the most important tools for evaluating the effectiveness of vaccination and preventive control measures.

It should be noted that even if dogs are not infected with CPV, they should be vaccinated regularly to prevent the disease. In addition, dog owners should pay attention to the daily hygiene and breeding management of their dogs, and regularly clean and sterilise kennels, cutlery and other items to reduce the risk of infection.

Canine Parvovirus Antigen Rapid Test is an effective rapid test for canine CPV infection, which is important for the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Treatment: Once a dog is found to be infected with CPV, it should be isolated and treated immediately. Treatment is based on supportive therapy, including symptomatic treatment such as replenishment of body fluids, pain relief and antiemetic. The use of specific antiviral drugs in the early stage of the disease has a certain degree of efficacy, but there is no specific drug.

Summary of CPV

Canine Parvovirus is a virus that poses a great threat to the health of dogs, and it is important to understand its aetiology, transmission pathways, clinical symptoms, and prevention and treatment methods for the prevention and control of the disease.

The risk of infection can be effectively reduced by vaccination, avoiding contact with the source of infection and adopting proper disinfection methods. If dogs are found with suspected symptoms, they should seek immediate medical attention to avoid delay in treatment.
