Abstract

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is the most significant viral cause of acute haemorrhagic enteritis. The objective of the present study is to detect the incidence of  canine parvovirus infection in and around Tirupati. A total of 154 faecal samples were collected from the dogs showing clinical signs of vomiting, diarrhoea, anorexia, dehydration and pyrexia. Out of 154 samples, 62 samples were positive for CPV 2 by PCR with an overall prevalence of 40.25 %. Occurrence of CPV infection in relation to age was highest in 0 to 3 months (45.16 %)  and least was recorded in dogs above 1 year of age (9.67 %). Breed wise analysis of data indicated highest occurrence in Non-descript dogs (38.70 %). The occurrence of CPV in the present study was more in male dogs (66.12 %) than female dogs  (33.87 %). Out of 62 dogs positive for canine parvoviral enteritis, 15 dogs (24.19%) were vaccinated wheras, 47 (75.80%) were non- vaccinated. The results indicate the necessity of implementing control and preventive measures to combat canine parvoviral infection.
