Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. No, Parvo virus will not crossover to a human so you have nothing to worry about. I am sorry to hear that Jonny has parvo and hopefully he will pull through! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
