摘要: Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and often fatal disease reported worldwide. Outbreaks occur throughout Australia, it has been suggested that disproportionally more CPV cases in rural locations. However, evidence to support this suggestion-and possible reasons for such predisposition-has not existed until now. In study total of 4870 from an Australian surveillance system between September 2009 July 2014 were analysed. postcodes classified as or urban (based on human population density) then categorised based their home postcode. Parvovirus predominately young (<12 months), entire, unvaccinated, mixed-breed dogs. More than twice many the area (3321 cases) compared (1549 cases). The overall case fatality rate was 47.2%; higher those areas (50.6%) (45.5%). A greater proportion younger, entire dogs cases. final multivariable model being included age months) vaccination status (never vaccinated) significant predictors. Poor socioeconomic might be reason decision owners vaccinate readily owners. excess reporting predictive risk factors identified can used by veterinarians reduce incidence educating about promoting better programs areas. This also supports increased may necessitate need vigilance around preventing spread, additional care with puppies which are most susceptible tighter protocols,
