Abstract

Canine parvovirus (CPV), which causes hemorrhagic enteritis in dogs, has 3 antigenic variants: types 2a, 2b, and 2c. Molecular method assessment of the distribution of the CPV variants in Europe showed that the new variant CPV-2c is widespread in Europe and that the viruses are distributed in different countries.

Geographic distribution of antigenic variants of canine parvovirus (CPV) in Europe. CPV-positive fecal samples or viral isolates from different countries were analyzed by molecular methods; strains CPV-2, 2a, 2b, or 2c are indicated for each country by numbers in parentheses. Samples were collected during 2005–2006, except for samples from Italy (2006) and Germany (1996–2005). P, Portugal; S, Spain; UK, United Kingdom; B, Belgium; CH, Switzerland; D, Germany; CZ, Czech Republic.
