Any Q

Many people infected with parvovirus B19 do not have any symptoms, or they have only mild, nonspecific rash illness, not unlike the common cold. Since parvovirus B19 infects only humans, a person cannot catch the virus from a pet dog or cat.


Is dog parvo contagious to humans?

Because the parvovirus that affects humans is different than the type that affects dogs – no – the virus cannot be spread from pet to person.

How can humans get parvo?

Transmission. Parvovirus B19 spreads through respiratory secretions, such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus, when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Parvovirus B19 can also spread through blood or blood products. A pregnant woman who is infected with parvovirus B19 can pass the virus to her baby.
