Abstract:

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is the main etiological agent of viral enteritis in dogs. Actually in literature, CPV-2 has been reported with clinical signs that vary from the classical disease. In this study, we evaluated the clinical signs presented in 50 dogs infected naturally with CPV-2. All the infected dogs were analyzed by PCR and sequenced. Our data indicate that the CPV-2c is the most frequently genovariant in Mexico the 50 dogs belong to the CPV-2c, through the amino acid change 426 Asn-Glu and concerning clinical signs, the presence of either vomiting or enlarged lymph node was observed in all virally infected patients.
