The present study was conducted on the incidence studies of the canine parvovirus (CPV) infection from different parts of Andhra Pradesh, India. A total of three hundred and forty two (n=342) canine parvovirus suspected clinical faecal samples of different age group of dogs from both vaccinated and non-vaccinated animals were collected. The faecal samples were preliminarily screened by haemagglutination assay and further confirmation by employing polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Dogs of age group below four months were more susceptible for CPV infection at a higher rate (77.59%) and were predominantly seen in males. PCR technique was found to be more sensitive in confirming the CPV infection (68.42%) than haemagglutination assay (20.67%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
