Canine Parvovirus-2c (CPV-2c) infection in dogs has been a growing concern due to its severe clinical manifestations. This study aims to determine the occurrence of CPV-2c among dogs in Kerala using amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). A total of 60 dogs exhibiting signs of CPV-infection were included in the study, and faecal samples collected from these dogs were subjected to ARMS-PCR. Out of 52 samples positive for CPV 34 were positive for CPV-2c, and sequencing was performed to confirm the presence of CPV-2c. This marks the second study investigating the occurrence of CPV-2c in Kerala, highlighting the significance of this variant in the region.
