| Abstract: | Eighty-two canine parvovirus type 2 strains isolated in Italy from pups with severe enteritis were characterizated using four monoclonal antibodies. Sixty-eight isolates resulted CPV-2a, whereas the other fourteen were a CPV-2b variant. The diffusion of CPV-2 variants in the Italian dog population is quite similar to that reported in the United Kingdom and Australia (CPV-2a more prevalent) and different from the epidemiological conditions of the USA and other countries where CPV-2b is more widespread. |
