Abstract

Thirteen cases of a previously undescribed parvoviral infection affecting puppies ranging in age from 5 to 21 days is described. The cases were originally thought to represent an unusual pathologic manifestation of canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) infection. However, failure to confirm CPV-2 infection in any of the cases suggested a different parvovirus was involved. Minute virus of canines (MVC) was subsequently isolated from a case by using the Walter Reed Canine Cell Line, the only cell line which will support the growth of MVC. The pathologic and virologic findings for these 13 cases are described in this report.
