Sequence analysis of VP2 gene of canine parvovirus isolates in Thailand.
Canine parvovirus (CPV) causes a very severe enteric disease especially in puppies. Twenty-six isolates of CPV were obtained from dogs at the Animal Hospital, Kasetsart University, Thailand. Whole VP2 gene of 26 isolates was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its sequences were analyzed. Nineteen out of 26 isolates were characterized as CPV type 2a variants and the rest of the isolates were characterized as CPV type 2b. These results indicated that both types are currently prevalent field CPV circulating in Thailand and type 2a is the predominant genotype. Neither CPV type 2 nor type 2c was observed in this study.
