Key strains of canine parvovirus 2 in india: a short communication

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly infectious viral illness that primarily affects dogs, especially puppies aged between six weeks and six months. It is caused by Canine Parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2), which mainly targets the gastrointestinal system and, in some instances, the heart. The virus attacks rapidly dividing cells such as those in the intestinal crypts, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues, resulting in enteritis, leukopenia, and immunosuppression. Since its discovery, CPV-2 has evolved into multiple strains, contributing to its high virulence. This article focuses on the predominant CPV-2 strains identified in India.
