I found a couple interesting things today just thought I'd share. I had never heard of such a thing.....
The normal parvovirus does not seem to infect humans, but it has a relative called parvovirus B-19 belonging to a different genus, Parvoviridae that does infect people. It affects rapidly growing cells, so cells of the intestine are particularly vulnerable. The puppies die of diarrhea and dehydration, but eventually they also experience massive internal hemorrhage.
