Abstract excerpt
Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) emerged suddenly in the late 1970s as pathogen of dogs, causing a severe and often fatal gastroenteric disease. The original CPV-2 was replaced by three antigenic variants, CPV-2a, CPV-2b and CPV-2c, which to date have gained a worldwide distribution with different relative proportions. All previous studies conducted in Africa were based on partial VP2 gene sequences. The aim of...
