Abstract excerpt
Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is a highly contagious pathogen responsible for severe gastroenteritis in carnivores, particularly in dogs. Continuous antigenic evolution has resulted in the emergence of CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c variants, defined by amino acid substitutions in the VP2 capsid protein. In this study, genetically altered CPV-2 viruses carrying common VP2 mutations (S297A, V300G, D305Y, Y324I,...
