=Introduction=
Parvoviruses are cleverly named for their extreme size (parve=small). They are species-specific and serious gastroenteric infections.
=Morphology=
*Small, non-enveloped, icosahedral DNA virus with featureless virions
=Virulence and Pathogenesis=
*Resistant to pH (even gastric acidity), heat, and desiccation
*Infect rapidly dividing cells
*Target bone marrow, intestinal epithelium, and growing fetus (via viremia)
*Causes [[Intestines Fibrinous/Haemorrhagic Enteritis - Pathology#Parvovirus Enteritis|Parvovirus Enteritis]]
=Epidemiology=
*Can persist for years in the environment
=Virus by Species=
===[[Feline Parvovirus]]===
===[[Canine Parvovirus]]===
===[[Porcine Parvovirus]]===
