A Ten‐Year Molecular Survey on Parvoviruses Infecting Carnivores in Bulgaria
Parvoviruses represent the most important infectious agents that are responsible for severe to fatal disease in carnivores. This study reports the results of a 10‐year molecular survey conducted on carnivores in Bulgaria (n = 344), including 262 dogs and 19 cats with gastroenteritis, and 57 hunted w...
