From my research Parvo is not airborne. There's been talk of a new strain that could be, but so far I guess it's classified as just rumor.
However, like you, I have heard the term "airborne" when Parvo is involved, but I believe it has to do with the fact that it can travel on the feet of birds, and even flys.
If a fly lands on an infected pile of feces, and then lands on your dogs water dish, it can be transmitted that way. Also birds and other animals can carry it on them and transfer it to another area.
AND....i've read it can travel on dust particles in the air....so if you really want to get technical... ..there you go...airborne!
But in classification of viruses, Parvo is not considered to be an airborne virus.
