Q

What is CAV-2 closely related to? Does the DA2PP vx protect against it?

A

CAV-1, which is more serious than CAV-2 and causes infectious canine hepatitis

Yes, The DA2PP vx contains a modified CAV-2 virus, and this prevents infectious canine hepatitis because CAV-2 is similar enough to CAV-1 that the vx creates immunity for both
