Abstract excerpt
An epidemiological survey for canine parvovirus (CPV) was conducted by collecting 615 faecal samples from dogs with diarrhoea in different European countries. Molecular methods showed that CPV-2a was predominant in most countries, followed by CPV-2c and CPV-2b, whereas 30 strains were not characterised. By sequence analysis of the full-length VP2 gene, 20 of these viruses were characterised as CPV-2c mutants...
