Abstract
Introduction: A novel strain of canine bocavirus, a member of the Parvoviridae family, was identified in a litter of puppies that died from acute dyspnoea and haemoptysis. The virus was identified in several tissues, suggesting haematogenous spread, with active replication evident in the intestinal epithelium. However, no direct link between infection and death was determined.
