Canine parainfluenza virus infection usually manifests as sudden onset of fever, coughing and runny nose. Sick dogs may have profuse plasma or mucus nasal discharge, as well as depression and loss of appetite. In some cases, canine parainfluenza virus may also cause acute encephalomyelitis and hydrocephalus, leading to neurological symptoms such as hindquarters paralysis and movement disorders.

The main mode of transmission of canine parainfluenza virus is through respiratory droplets, such as those released by coughing and sneezing. In addition, direct contact with contaminated objects or the environment may also lead to virus transmission. Sick dogs are the main source of infection, especially in dense colonies where the virus can spread rapidly.
