parvovirus
Deadly puppy infection
Parvovirus is a type of virus that causes disease in animals, most notoriously a severe and often fatal intestinal infection in dogs.
Canine parvovirus spreads easily and attacks rapidly dividing cells, causing bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration in puppies.
In humans, parvovirus B19 causes fifth disease, a mild childhood illness with a distinctive "slapped cheek" rash: The daycare sent a note warning that parvovirus was going around.
