CANINE PARVOVIRUS

A Rapid and Precise Diagnostic Test for the Detection of Parvovirus in Dogs

The canine parvovirus (CPV) infection is a highly contagious viral illness that affects dogs. The virus manifests itself in two different forms.

Diagnosis of the disease depends on detection of the virus in the feces. PCR as a diagnostic method is more sensitive compared to immunoassay method, since the virus load can be very low in feces and the high level of antibody may neutralize the virus antigen. Using the molecular technology can detect the specific virus causing the disease. The virus has variants of the original CPV-2, notably CPV-2a, 2b, and 2c, which differ in only a few amino acids but have led to more efficient replication in the canine host and the ability to infect cats. Our present kit is designed to detect all the strains of the virus.

The majority of cases are seen in puppies that are between six weeks and six months old. The Canine Parvovirus (or CPV) is characterized by its short incubation period and high mortality rate; research suggests early detection along with immediate actions helps lower the mortality rate by up to 80%

The major symptoms associated with canine parvovirus infection include:

• Severe, bloody diarrhea
• Lethargy
• Anorexia
• Fever
• Vomiting
• Severe weight loss
