Canine parvovirus (also referred to as CPV, CPV2, or parvo) is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs and wolves. CPV is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. Vaccines can prevent this infection, but mortality can reach 91% in untreated cases.
Carnivore protoparvovirus 1 is a species of parvovirus that infects carnivorans.It causes a highly contagious disease in both dogs and cats separately. The disease is generally divided into two major genogroups: FPV containing the classical feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV), and CPV-2 containing the canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) which appeared in the 1970s.

Cases of parvovirus B19 have jumped in the U.S. Here’s what you need to know about the illness that affects dogs and humans, causing a “slapped cheek” look.
In 1978 a virus from the same species as FPV emerged that was able to infect dogs (called canine parvovirus or CPV), which rapidly spread globally, causing pandemics of severe intestinal and coronary disease. [19] Genus Parvovirus continued to accrue new viruses until 2014, when its name was changed to Protoparvovirus. [6] [7]
