==In canines==
===Higher order taxa===
Parvovirus is highly contagious, airborne and deadly; it can run through [[kennel]]s very quickly, causing an agonizing death for domestic dogs.  It can lie dormant on the ground for long periods of time, and can be picked up on one's shoes.
===Prevention===
[[Vaccination]] against parvovirus is standard and required in Australia.  Some veterinary professionals routinely disinfect or change shoes when leaving the surgery and before getting into their vehicles or stepping onto their property.


When parvovirus has already been contracted by animals on one's property, dusting and washing surfaces with lime has been shown to be effective.
