viruses’ simultaneous attack on the intestine.
This recent information is of great importance to veterinarians, dog breeders, show trainers, kennel owners and dog owners everywhere. Dogs need to be protected against both coronavirus and parvo because dual infections of these two extremely contagious diseases presents a dangerous situation which is occurring throughout the country, as reported by Dr. James F. Evermann of Washington State University.
Dr. Evermann, regarded as one of the nation’s top authorities on the diagnosis of canine enteric intestinal diseases, reported on routine tests sent to three U.S. diagnostic labs and one in Canada to diagnose intestinal disorders. At all testing sites, dual infections of coronavirus and parvovirus were isolated in no fewer than 15 percent of the cases and up to 25 percent in others. Dr. Evermann said that as early as 1980, researchers discovered that “dogs infected with both viruses had a higher fatality rate than dogs infected with either virus alone.”
Typically, in a routine vaccination program, dogs are vaccinated against parvovirus, but are not protected against coronavirus, a disease which has been overlooked as a threat to canine health. Now, with , the discovery, of the dangers involved, coronavirus will most likely be incorporated into routine vaccination schedules across the country.
