The "Further Reading" link for Feline Parvovirus by Cats Protection appears to be dead.--Mhofer (talk) 02:41, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Found the new link and updated the page. --Mhofer (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

AAV - Adeno-associated Virus

I thought AAV was a member of this family. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.94.156.170 (talk) 18:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It's in the family Parvoviridae, but the genus Dependovirus. --Joelmills (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

what doe sthe disease present itself like in human?

Why does it say that Parvoviri only infect mammals and later on in the text it mentions one that affects geese?

Good catch. Further research reveals that goose parvovirus has been reclassified as belonging to the genus Dependovirus, not Parvovirus. However, Dependovirus is still part of the Parvoviridae family, so the statement in the opening of the article is still false. In fact, one genus of Parvoviridae, Densovirus, only affects insects. --Joelmills 03:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

parvo on cats and small pups

HERE IS A QUESTION... CAN A CAT THAT DIES OF PARVO PASS IT OWN TO A SMALL PUPPY. MY PUPPY HAD BEEN AROUND NOTHING BUT CATS AND HES ABOUT 10 WEEKS OLD NOW, AND SUDDENLY ALL THE CATS HAVE SEEMED TO HAVE PARVO FROM WHAT WE HAVE REASEARCHED ON THIS ISSUE. SO WE WANT TO KNOW IF THE PUPPY COULD HAVE CAUGHT IT FROM ALL THE CATS HERE. --Crystalxc 07:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)=crystalxc

No. Feline parvovirus, which causes feline panleukopenia, is closely related to canine parvovirus, and in fact canine parvo is thought to have evolved from feline parvo. But the two species can't pass the diseases back and forth. --Joelmills 18:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Parvo redirect

Typing in Parvo should take you to this page, however, it does not, it takes you to Canine parvovirus type 2, which it should not. Its like typing in apple and having it take you to a Granny Smith apple page. Or Metallica and having it take you to the "re-load" page. it dosent make sense. How do we go about fixing this?Xcalibur27 (talk) 14:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

It's fixed now. Graham Colm ^Talk 18:35, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Which disinfectant?

Which disinfectants are effective against parvovirus? Hand and/or surface disinfectant? Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.69.173.21 (talk) 06:50, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Since Infobox indicates this is a genus article

all the information on non-Parvovirus genus species should be moved instead to Parvoviridae article, and this one simply left with a note pointing there regarding that Pandelver (talk) 22:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Alternatively, a disambiguation page would have to be created and a second article on Parvovirus as a common name. Pandelver (talk) 22:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
