PARVOVIRUS INFECTION IN DOGS Signs include anorexia, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea which is often hemorrhagic. Parvovirus comes from Latin word "Parvus" which means small, and probably due to this reason this virus is known as Parvovirus. Dogs of all age groups may be infected, but puppies of 3 months are highly susceptible than adults. This virus causes high morbidity (100%) and frequent mortality up to 10% in adult dogs and 91% in pups.
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: DANCE OF THE INCOMING AND OUTGOING AIR
The respiratory system is important in the sense that it helps provide the body with the necessary elements of gases, such as oxygen, which help generate energy and power for the cells. The respiratory system is like a conducting system, a system that conducts the good gas, oxygen, into the body and helps expel the carbon dioxide gas out of the body. Carbon dioxide is an excretory product, and it is extremely important that this waste product is efficiently expelled out while the oxygen is being transported inside the body, which plays an important role in helping nourish the cells. This system encompasses the nostril, the conducting system and the lungs.
Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from FELINE PANLUEKOPENIA VIRUS CPV probably arose as a result of two or three genetic mutation in FPV that allowed it to expand its host range to infect dogs. It first emerged in dogs in Europe around 1976. By 1978, the virus had spread unchecked, causing a worldwide epidemic of myocarditis (inflammation of heart muscles) and inflammation of intestines (gastroenteritis).
