Allison 2013 <p>Although parvoviruses are commonly described in domestic carnivores, little is known about their biodiversity in nondomestic species. A phylogenetic analysis of VP2 gene sequences from puma, coyote, gray wolf, bobcat, raccoon, and striped skunk revealed two major groups related to either feline panleukopenia virus (&ldquo;FPV-like&rdquo;) or canine parvovirus (&ldquo;CPV-like&rdquo;). Cross-species transmission was commonplace, with multiple introductions into each host species but, with the exception of raccoons, relatively little evidence for onward transmission in nondomestic species.</p> application/pdf 10.1128/JVI.02428-12 en American Society for Microbiology Frequent cross-species transmission of parvoviruses among diverse carnivore hosts article
