Abstract
Canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) has been considered to be an important pathogen of
domestic and wild canids and has spread worldwide since its emergence in 1978. CPV-
2, the causative agent of acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis in dogs, is one of
the most important pathogenic viruses with high morbidity and frequent mortality. The
disease condition has been complicated further due to emergence of a number of variants
namely CPV-2a, CPV-2b and CPV-2c over the years and involvement of domestic and
wild canines. The present study was undertaken to genotype CPV vaccinal strains which
are available in Indian market using PCR, cloning, sequencing, sequence analysis with
available sequences in GenBank followed by phylogenetic analysis.
Total six commercial vaccines designated as Vac1, Vac2, Vac3,
