two male dogs at the age of 3 and 5 months of doberman pinscher and german shepherd breeds were referred to the veterinary hospital of ahvaz university with clinical signs of depression, vomiting, haemorrhagic diarrhoea, profound dehydration, fever and anorexia. the affected dogs had not the history of vaccination. concurrent infection of canine parvovirus and coronavirus was detected in dogs b...

Canine viral eneritis is a frequent problem in clinical veterinary practice. From the discovery of canine parvovirus late 1970s to present day, viruses have been one most common causes diarrhea, especially younger categories dogs. The following primary dogs are often isolated: types 1 and 2, corona rota virus. Modern molecular methods diagnosis feces proven presence new viruses, which lead mild...

A serological survey was conducted in the Patagonia region of Argentina to estimate the prevalence of nine disease agents within the populations of free-ranging culpeo (Dusicyon culpaeus) and grey (Dusicyon griseus) foxes. The disease agents were Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), Brucella, canine adenovirus (CAV), canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV), Encephalitozoon cuniculi, Le...

Introduction Canine parvovirus (CPV)-2 is one of the most common infectious diseases of dogs and the most prevalent viral cause of diarrhea in dogs. CPV-2 initially emerged in 1978 to a naive canine population and spread rapidly with high morbidity and mortality.1 It is postulated to have arisen either from feline panleukopenia virus or a wild carnivore parvovirus. Over time, genetic mutations ...

Understanding the mechanisms of cross-species virus transmission is critical to anticipating emerging infectious diseases. Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) emerged as a variant of a feline parvovirus when it acquired mutations that allowed binding to the canine transferrin receptor type 1 (TfR). However, CPV-2 was soon replaced by a variant virus (CPV-2a) that differed in antigenicity and recep...

Parvoviruses of carnivores include three closely related autonomous parvoviruses: canine parvovirus (CPV), feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and mink enteritis virus (MEV). These viruses cause a variety of serious diseases, especially in young patients, since they have a remarkable predilection for replication in rapidly dividing cells. FPV is not the only parvovirus species which infects cats; ...

To rapidly distinguish Canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV), and canine kobuvirus (CaKoV) in practice, a one-step multiplex PCR/RT-PCR assay was developed, with detection limits of 102.1 TCID50 for CDV, 101.9 TCID50 for CPV and 103 copies for CaKoV. This method did not amplify nonspecific DNA or RNA from other canine viruses. Therefore, the assay provides a sensitive tool for t...

Parvovirus enteritis is one of canine dangerous diseases which poses a particular concern for practitioners and dog owners around the world. type 2 (CPV-2) can affect dogs at any age, but puppies between 6 weeks months old are most susceptible to infection. One main biological properties parvovirus its continuous genetic evolution, led replacement original virus by new antigenic variants – CPV-...

This is the first report on circulating canine rotavirus in Mexico. Fifty samples from dogs with gastroenteritis were analyzed used polymerase chain reaction and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in order to identify parvovirus and rotavirus, respectively; 7% of dogs were infected with rotavirus exclusively, while 14% were co-infected with both rotavirus and parvovirus; clinical s...
