Marshall et al. (1984) conducted a cross-sectional in Diarrhoea (n=156). Diarrhoea vs. Without diarrhoea (normal faeces) was evaluated on Identification of viruses and virus-like particles. Seven distinct viral types, most commonly parvovirus-like particles, were identified in 157 normal and 29 diarrhoeal faecal samples from 156 shelter dogs.
