Canine Parvovirus Michigan State University Van Dang Karissa Slusher
History • Emerged in 1977-1978 • Feline Panleukopenia • Extremely hardy, survives outside its host for up to 6 months • Species specific
What is it? • Canine parvovirus • Smallest virus • Naked, icosahedral capsid • ssDNA (5 kb) Replicates only when host is replicating! • 2 Syndromes: • Acute myocarditis • Hemorrhagic enteritis
Incidence • Any age can become infected • Mild and Asymptomatic • Severe clinical disease • Puppies 2 to 6 months of age • Rottweilers and Doberman Pinchers
Clinical syndrome • Host vitality • Immune experience, vaccination status • Environment • Humidity, temperature, etc • Virulence of the virus • Including viral load
Protection • Colostrum • Maternal antibodies protective until 2 month of age • Regular Vaccination • Keep indoors • Until the vaccination series are complete
Pathogenesis Tonsils Replicates in Lymphocytes in the next 3-4 days Cell lysis Viremia Bone Marrow Stem cells GIT
Hemorrhagic enteritis • Villi become blunted and unable to absorb nutrients. • Barrier to GIT flora is broken down.
Mechanisms of Death • Diarrhea and vomiting extreme dehydration SHOCK • Loss of intestinal barrier bacterial invasion SEPTIC SHOCK
Symptoms • Fever, lethargy, anorexia • Severely dehydrated • Vomiting • Diarrhea: watery, bloody, with a tell-tale odor
Differential Diagnoses • Canine Distemper • Infectious Canine Hepatitis • Canine Coronavirus • Salmonellosis • Campylobacteriosis • Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis (HGE) • Toxicosis
Diagnosis • History and PE • Symptoms • ELISA (CITE) • False positives with recent vaccination Hx • Antibody titer • CBC • Biopsy • Necropsy • Lower and middle small intestines • Bone marrow
Biopsy of the Small Intestine collapsed crypts depleted Peyer’s patches
Inclusion bodies in Crypt cells Kelly, 1978
Additional tests • Serum chemistry • UA • Fecal flotation
Symptomatic Treatment • Fluids • Antimetics • Antibiotics • Antihelmintics • Colloids, plasma, RBC
Prognosis • Most recover with intensive therapy • Dobermans and Rottweilers • Sensitive to the virus • Poor prognosis • Intussusception • Hypoproteinemia • No improvement after 4th day of intesive care
Home care • Antibiotics (PO) • Diet management • Bland, highly digestible food • Frequent, small feedings • Restricted activity • Avoid introducing new puppies • Disinfect with bleach
CPV Vaccine History • Original vaccines incorporated feline panleukopenia virus or mink enteritis viruses • Similar to the original CPV • Killed and MLV were developed, but variable efficacy • Low titer • Interference of Maternal antibodies
Vaccine History • Mid 1990’s • New generation, high titer, low-passage CPV vaccines • Pfizer (Vanguard Puppy) • Fort Dodge (Duramune / Puppy Shot) • Intervet (Progard) • Merial (Recombitek C4 and C6) • Schering-Plough (Galaxy)
CPV High Titer Vaccine • Contains more virus than standard vaccine • Better at inducing immunity in puppies at a younger age
Passaging • Passaging is the process of growing and modifying a virulent virus to one that is safe for the use in a vaccine • Each generation passage is less like the original
Vaccine Failure: Interference by Maternal Antibodies * window of susceptibility * minimum level needed for protection * passive antibody HAI - 80 * HAI - 10 to 20 * Successful Vaccination * 2 4 6 8 10 12 weeks after birth
Maternal Antibodies • Critical period and vaccine response varies with the individual • Dams antibody level • First born, aggressive pups • More colostrum Higher MA
Vaccine Failure • Ineffective Vaccine • Inappropriate storage • Inappropriate administration • Low titer vaccine • Immunogenicity and Serological response • Virulence of parent viral strain • Method and level of virus attenuation • Amount of attenuated virus in each dose • No vaccine produces 100% immunity
Vaccine Failure • Health Status • Fever • Immunocompromised animals • Client Compliance • Recommended vaccination schedule • Breed • A disproportionate number of Rottweilers that have been properly vaccinated will develop parvo
CPV Vaccination Recommendations • Use modified live vaccines for puppies • Start vaccinations at 6-8 weeks of age • Vaccinate every 3-4 weeks until 15-16 weeks of age • Giving a vaccine more frequently than every 2 weeks will cause interference • This includes vaccines for different infections
CPV Vaccination Recommendations • Annual Booster • Debatable • Killed vaccines • Least effective at penetrating maternal antibody • Also associated with more vaccine reactions
Other Parvoviruses… • Feline Panleukopenia Virus • Porcine Parovirus • Aleutian Mink Diseases
