IMPORTANT READ #1 Thank you, Euan!
The Whole Story About Heartworm (much of which you may not be told otherwise)

This is a very important work and I wish to thank the author, Lee Cullens. He has given his permission to crosspost this for download. It is a long paper but I encourage you to read every word! You must have CORRECT knowledge in order to make informed choices, especially ones as important as dealing with heartworm prevention and/or treatment.

NEW and just plain interesting! VIDEO - The Inner Life of the Cell - a three-minute animation created in NewTek LightWave 3D and Adobe After Effects for Harvard biology students, wont draw the kind of box office crowds that more ferocious˜and furrier˜digital creations did last Christmas. But it will share a place along side them in SIGGRAPH's Electronic Theatre show, which will run for three days during the 33rd annual exhibition and conference in Boston next month. Created by XVIVO, a scientific animation company near Hartford, CT, the animation illustrates unseen molecular mechanisms and the ones they trigger, specifically how white blood cells sense and respond to their surroundings and external stimuli.

PARVO

Puppies and Parvo - A Self Help Guide by Amber Technology

Dog Show Crud - Bacterial Overgrowth - often mimics Parvo

Studies that have been done on Parvo 2c (some are for multiple strains):

Canine Parvovirus Types 2c and 2b Circulating in North American Dogs in 2006 and 2007 includes vaccinated dogs - check out the chart on page 2 of the PDF version of the study (Table 1 of the HTML format)

http://www.cdc.gov/EID/content/13/8/pdfs/1222.pdf
The CDC's document regarding Parvovirus in general. Includes info on all strains - 2, 2a, 2b and 2c. References 2c back to the year 2000.

http://www.cdc.gov/EID/content/13/8/pdfs/1222.pdf
Only an abstract (which I find annoying), but I found the last line rather interesting:
"No significant associations were found between CPV type, clinical outcome, breed, vaccination status, or age."
Also of interest, this report notes that 2c was first seen in Germany in 1996, 4 years before it was "officially" reported in Italy.

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=96121
Canine parvovirus 2a and 2c in CATS. Study date is back in 2001.

http://www.intervet.com.mx/binaries/86_151576.pdf
Study paper re: first detection in South America

http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:102327
Another abstract re: parvovirus in Australia. Date 2005. Needless to say, I can't get my hands on the FULL study report, only the abstract.
"The vaccine failures investigated in the study were likely caused not by genetic variation of field viruses but bymaternal antibody interference in the response of pups to vaccination."

http://jcm.asm.org/cgi/content/full/42/3/1333?ck=nck
Italian study published in 2002. Note: Glu-426 is the "lab" name for parvo 2c. I think it has since then been formally renamed to 2c to avoid confusion.
