Abstract

A parvovirus recently associated with an outbreak in Dutch pigs was found in Denmark in symptomatic pigs and in fox (Vulpes vulpes) feces and spleens. Pig viruses were more closely related to each other than to viruses found in the respective local wildlife, suggesting a link between the farm outbreaks.
