As well as parvovirus, and some of the other recognised viral causes of gastroenteritis, unusual "virus-like" particles were observed in about 8% of the samples. An additional 74 samples of normal faeces yielded no "virus-like" particles. During this work we observed unusual "virus-like" particles similar to those recorded by Hamilton et al. The "virus-like" particles were usually spherical and had a thick wall which was penetrated by numerous pores (Fig. I ) . Parvovirus particles were observed in some samples containing the viruslike particles ( Fig. 8) We have observed these "virus-like" particles in diarrhoeic canine faeces from 198 1 to 1994. Perhaps the "virus-like" particles are some structures associated with bacteria or parasites in the gut of dogs.
