Molecular characterization of canine parvovirus (CPV) infection in dogs in Turkey 39-44
doi: 10.12834/VetIt.263.908.3
 
Summary
This study provides data about canine parvovirus (CPV) types circulating among dogs in Turkey. Sixty-five samples from dogs with and without clinical signs of parvovirus infection were collected between April 2009 and February 2010. The samples were subsequently tested for CPV using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Twenty-five samples (38.4%) were positive; when positive samples were characterized by sequence analysis, results showed that both CPV-2a (17/25, 68%) and CPV-2b (8/25, 32%) strains are circulating among domestic dogs in Turkey. This is the first molecular characterization study of CPVs from dogs based on partial VP2 gene sequences in Turkey.

Keywords
Canine parvovirus 2, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Sequence Analysis, Turkey.
