- Tropism for intestinal epithelium
leads to the collapse of intestinal
villi, epithelial necrosis, and
hemorrhagic diarrhea—clinical signs
of gastroenteritis
Depletion of lymphocytes and
compromised gastrointestinal system
may lead to bacteremia by normal
gut flora, i.e. Escherichia coli, which
can be
fatal

differentiation

antibody, and the presence of
concurrent infections such as
other enteric viral and parasitic
infections
CPV
***Mechanism of Death

CPV
How do you diagnose CPV?
Clinical signs and symptoms: the sudden onset of foul-smelling, bloody diarrhea in a
young dog (under 2 years of age) is often considered indicative of CPV infection
**Laboratory tests
**CBC (leukopenia, neutropenia, and lymphopenia)
Abnormal coagulation test
Cardiac troponin I is a plasma marker for myocardial
damage.
Biochemical tests (often shows hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypoglycemia)
***Virus detection
Fecal ELISA antigen tests(specific but less sensitive)
PCR methods.
Antibody Detection
Serology is not the best method to diagnose CPV infection because most dogs are
vaccinated against it or have been previously exposed to the virus
Name the biomarkers of Canine Parvovirus
Diagnosis & control of Parvoviruses
Clinical Signs and PM
Laboratory diagnosis
-Fecal enzyme immunoassays
-HA test (pig, cat, monkey) RBCs
-Detection of virus by EM
-PCR: amplification of viral DNA
-Serology: ELISA
Control: various types of vaccines are
commercially available
Prevention of CPV - Vaccines
Both attenuated live and inactivated CPV vaccines are available
**Attenuated live vaccines: should never be administered to pregnant bitches
because they may cause disease in the developing fetus
**Monovalent CPV vaccines: administered by the intranasal route and
commercially available
The age at which a pup should be vaccinated successfully can be predicted
through the determination of the MDA titters by serologic tests
Pups from a bitch with a low protective titer of antibody to CPV can be
successfully immunized by six weeks of age, but in pups from a bitch with a
very high titer to CPV, MDA may persist much longer
Pups of unknown immune status can be vaccinated with a high-titer-attenuated
live CPV vaccine at 6, 9, and 12 weeks of age
