ArticleItem Open Access Incidence of canine parvovirus type 2c in a puppy with haemorrhagic gastroenteritis in Tamil Nadu, India(AkiNik Publications, 2019) Surendhar, M; Vijaya Bharathi, M; Selvaraju, G; Rathnapraba, S; Raj Kumar, RA; TANUVASCanine parvovirus enteritis is caused by canine parvovirus -2 (CPV-2), which is highly contagious and often fatal disease, characterized by vomiting, fowl smelling bloody diarrhoea and myocarditis in young dogs. In the present study, a total of 150 faecal and blood samples were collected from dogs with the symptoms of haemorrhagic gastroenteritis from Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital (MVCTH), Chennai to study the molecular epidemiology and haemato-biochemical changes in CPV-2 infected dogs respectively. Seventy one (47.33 per cent) dogs were positive for CPV-2 by PCR assay. Strain specific assay reveal CPV-2a and CPV-2c variants were recorded in 70 and 01 dogs respectively. Incidence of CPV-2c is the first report in Tamil Nadu. DNA sequencing was done for 8 PCR positive samples, out of which three were characterized as CPV-2c, indicating that this CPV type 2c is currently circulating in India.ArticleItem Open Access Molecular epidemiology and evaluation of haemato -biochemical parameters in canine parvoviral enteritis dogs in Chennai, India(AkiNik Publications, 2018) Surendhar, M; Vijaya Bharathi, M; Selvaraju, G; Rathnapraba, S; Raj Kumar, RA; TANUVASCanine parvoviral enteritis is caused by canine parvovirus (CPV) which is featured by vomiting, haemorrhagic enteritis, myocarditis, dehydration, dullness and anaemia. It is commonly seen in puppies less than six month of age especially when unvaccinated. An early and accurate diagnosis, proper prophylactic and therapeutic measures, awareness about the pattern of disease occurrences aids the treating veterinarians in a better way. A total of 150 faecal and blood samples were collected from twelve different dog breeds presented with the symptoms of vomiting, haemorrhagic foul smelling diarrhoea and dehydration to Infectious Disease Unit, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai. Polymerase chain reaction was done to estimate the presence of canine parvovirus-2. Out of 150 samples, 71 (47.3%) samples showed positive for canine parvovirus-2. Haemato-biochemical alterations in parvo affected puppies revealed anaemia, leucopenia, decreased packed cell volume, hypoglycemia and decreased electrolyte values. These findings envisage the need for developing proper therapeutic protocols to save the affected puppiesArticleItem Open Access Molecular epidemiology and evaluation of haemato -biochemical parameters in canine parvoviral enteritis dogs in Chennai, India(2018) Surendhar, M; Vijaya Bharathi, M; Selvaraju, G, et al.,; TANUVASCanine parvoviral enteritis is caused by canine parvovirus (CPV) which is featured by vomiting, haemorrhagic enteritis, myocarditis, dehydration, dullness and anaemia.
