Parvoviruses are a group of small DNA viruses that can infect a wide range of animals, including humans. They are known for their ability to cause diseases in animals, such as parvovirus in dogs and fifth disease in humans. Parvoviruses are highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact or exposure to contaminated environments.
Viruses can vary greatly in size, with the smallest ones being around 20-30 nanometers (nm) in diameter, such as the Parvoviruses. Larger viruses like Mimivirus can reach sizes of around 400 nm. However, most viruses fall within the range of 20-300 nm in size.
i think it's Family Parvoviridae (20-25 nm in diameter), that's is according to the book of Maria Danessa Delost entitled Introduction to Diagnostic Microbiology, page 338 isn't it the polio virus??

Viruses can vary greatly in size, with the smallest ones being around 20-30 nanometers (nm) in diameter, such as the Parvoviruses. Larger viruses like Mimivirus can reach sizes of around 400 nm. However, most viruses fall within the range of 20-300 nm in size.
The smallest living things depend on how a living thing is defined. Some biologists do not believe viruses are living organisms because there are no free living forms (all are parasitic) and because they must reply on their host for reproduction. Others believe that, despite this, they have an existence of their own separate to the host and are subject to natural selection and are therefore alive. If you accept viruses are not alive, the smallest living things would be amongst the bacteria or protists. Bacteria are single celled organisms with no cell nucleus while protists have a nucleus. Generally the bacteria are slightly smaller but their sizes overlap. If you accept that viruses are alive, the smallest group are the Parvoviruses between 18 and 26 nanometres. These are single stranded DNA viruses. 1 nm = 1/1000000000 metres or 0.000039 inches.

The smallest known organism is an ultramicroscopic bacterium called Mycoplasma genitalium, which has a size of about 200 to 300 nanometers. Other small organisms include certain types of microorganisms like certain viruses and archaea.

Rest assured that parvovirus is specific to dogs alone and cannot be transmitted to humans or other pets of a different species, such as cats.got this info from http://www.workingdogs.com/parvofaq.htm*But, however, humans can get a different form of this virus that is often called Fifth Disease. The real name is Parvovirus B19. Another name for it is Erythema Infectiosum which is also called Slapped Cheek Syndrome.
Companion animals such as cats, dogs, and horses, if not vaccinated, can catch serious viral infections. Canine parvovirus 2 is caused by a small DNA virus, and infections are often fatal in pups.The emergence of the parvovirus in the 1970s was the most significant in the history of infectious diseases. The disease spread rapidly across the world, and thousands of dogs died from the infection.The virus originated in cats, the vector of feline panleukopenia, but a mutation that changed just two amino acids in the viral capsid protein VP2 allowed it to cross the species barrier, and dogs, unlike cats, had no resistance to the disease. Canine distemper virus is closely related to measles virus and is the most important viral disease of dogs. In the 1990s, thousands of African lions died from the infection, which they contracted from feral dogs and hyenas.Marine mammals are susceptible to viral infections. In 1988 and 2002, thousands of harbor seals were killed in Europe by the measles-like phocine distemper virus. Large outbreaks of the disease were recorded among the seal populations of Lake Baikal and along the shores of the Baltic and North Sea. The infection resembled canine distemper; the animals died within two weeks of respiratory distress and many aborted pups were seen.Many other viruses, including caliciviruses, herpesviruses, adenoviruses and parvoviruses, circulate in marine mammal populations.
There seems to be a typo in your question. If you are referring to parvovirus, it is a highly contagious virus that affects dogs, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. It can be prevented through vaccination.
