description Parvoviruses belong to a group of non-enveloped viruses capable of infecting a wide range of domestic and wild hosts, potentially causing diverse clinical conditions, such as reproductive failure in pigs and cattle, enteritis in dogs and poultry, panleukopenia in cats, hepatitis in horses, and respiratory and skin diseases in humans. Although these viruses are primarily host-specific, there is evidence of interspecies transmission, particularly among wild animals. The parvovirus genome consists of a linear DNA strand, approximately 5 kb in length, with palindromic terminal sequences that form a hairpin structure composed of 120 to 200 bases. These viruses are widely distributed and exhibit remarkable stability under various environmental conditions, remaining infectious for extended periods. Susceptible hosts become infected through direct contact with infected individuals or fomites, and the infection may result in clinical symptoms with variable manifestations depending on the affected species. Furthermore, some hosts may develop subclinical infections, shedding the virus through secretions and excretions. Diagnosis is performed using serological and molecular techniques, with PCR being the most sensitive and specific method. Treatment for companion animals focuses on symptomatic management, including fluid therapy, broad-spectrum antimicrobials, antiemetics, antacids, and gastric mucosal protectants. Additionally, antivirals, immunomodulators, and probiotics have been increasingly used to reverse clinical conditions. On the other hand, there is no specific treatment for clinical conditions in production animals. In swine production, management is based on prevention using inactivated vaccines and biosecurity measures. This review will describe the clinical conditions associated with parvoviruses in veterinary-relevant host species, as well as aspects related to their taxonomic classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Los parvovirus pertenecen a un grupo de virus no envueltos, capaces de infectar en una amplia variedad de hospedadores domésticos y silvestres, pudiendo causar diversos cuadros clínicos como fallas reproductivas en cerdos y bovinos, enteritis en caninos y aves de corral, panleucopenia en felinos, hepatitis en equinos, enfermedad respiratoria y cutánea en humanos. Estos virus son mayormente especie-específicos, aunque hay evidencia de transmisión interespecie, especialmente en animales silvestres. Su genoma está compuesto por una cadena lineal de ADN, de aproximadamente 5 kb, cuyas secuencias terminales son complejos palindrómicos en forma de horquilla, compuestos por 120 a 200 bases. Se encuentran ampliamente distribuidos y son muy estables en diversas condiciones ambientales, capaces de permanecer infectivos durante largos períodos. Los hospedadores susceptibles se infectan por contacto directo con individuos infectados o fómites y la infección puede ocasionar cuadros clínicos con signos diversos según la especie afectada. Además, algunos hospedadores desarrollan cuadros subclínicos que pueden eliminar el virus en secreciones y excreciones. Para su diagnóstico se emplean técnicas serológicas y moleculares, siendo la PCR la de mayor sensibilidad y especificidad. El tratamiento para los cuadros causados en animales de compañía se basa en la reversión de los signos mediante fluidoterapia, el uso de antimicrobianos de amplio espectro, antieméticos, antiácidos y protectores de la mucosa gástrica. Además, se han comenzado a utilizar antivirales, inmunomoduladores y probióticos para revertir el cuadro clínico. Por otra parte, no existe tratamiento para los cuadros clínicos en animales de producción. En producción porcina el manejo se basa en la prevención a través de la utilización de vacunas inactivadas y medidas de bioseguridad. En la presente revisión se describirán los diversos cuadros clínicos asociados a parvovirus en especies hospedadoras de interés en medicina veterinaria, y aspectos referentes a su clasificación taxonómica, epidemiología, patogenia, diagnóstico tratamiento y prevención.
