Abstract Specific targeting of tumor cells is an important goal for the design of nanotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Recently viruses have been explored as nano-containers for specific targeting applications however these systems typically require modification of the virus surface using chemical or genetic means to achieve tumor-specific delivery. Interestingly there exists a subset of viruses with natural affinity for receptors on tumor cells that could be exploited for nanotechnology applications. For example the canine parvovirus CPV utilizes transferrin receptors TfRs for binding and cell entry into canine as
