Abstract
Chinese medicinal herbs that have appeared useful for prevention and treatment of viral diseases and in particular, canine viruses, have attracted research attention in recent years. Canine parvovirus infection which can be associated with high morbidity and mortality continues to cause disease outbreaks due to lack of efficacy of preventative procedures and immunity failure of susceptible animals. Increasingly researchers have been evaluating herbs ranging from traditional formulas to self-made prescriptions that have anti-viral activity to improve treatment and control of canine parvovirus infection. In this review, Chinese herbal medicines that appear to provide both effective treatment and a complimentary adjunct to traditional Western methods of treatment are presented.
