Serological, sequence, and in vitro host range analyses of feline parvovirus (FPV) isolates in Vietnam and Taiwan revealed that more than 80% of the isolates were of the canine parvovirus (CPV) type, rather than feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV). Although parvovirus isolates from three Vietnamese leopard cats were genetically related to CPV type 2a or 2b, they had a natural mutation of VP2 resi...

In our studies aimed at assessing the minimum duration of vaccinal immunity (DOI), approximately 1000 dogs have been vaccinated with products from all the major US veterinary biological companies. The DOI for the various products is determined by antibody titers for all dogs and, by challenge studies in selected groups of dogs. Recently, all major companies that make canine vaccines for the U.S...

Canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) is a highly contagious and key enteropathogen affecting the canine population around globe by causing parvoviral enteritis (CPVE) vomition. CPVE one of leading causes morbidity mortality in puppies young dogs. Over years, five distinct antigenic variants CPV-2, namely CPV-2a, CPV-2b, new CPV-2c, have emerged throughout world. CPV-2 infects diverse range wild animals,...

The aim of the study was to determine titre antibodies against canine parvovirus in groups adult dogs from eastern Poland with a varied history vaccination parvovirus. 200 divided into three were included study. first group (n = 59) consisted subjects regularly vaccinated disease according WSAVA guidelines. second 77) animals that completed full course CPV immunisation as puppies but had not re...

Wild carnivores are often exposed to diseases via contact with peridomestic host species that travel through the wildland-urban interfaces. To determine the antibody prevalences and relationships to human activity for two common canid pathogens, we sampled 99 wolves (Canis lupus) from 2000 to 2008 for antibodies to canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine distemper virus (CDV) in Banff and Jasper Nat...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate associations of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration with duration of hospitalization and with outcome in puppies with canine parvoviral enteritis. DESIGN Prospective observational study. Animals-79 client-owned puppies with naturally acquired canine parvovirus infection. PROCEDURES All puppies received supportive care. Serum CRP concentration was measured at t...
