Description

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect canine coronavirus (CCoV) and type 2 canine parvovirus (CPV-2) infections in 149 clinical samples from diarrheic puppies under 12 weeks of age, collected in Japan between 2007 and 2010. The results revealed that 46.3% and 38.3% of samples were positive for CCoV and CPV-2, respectively. The prevalence of CCoV I among CCoV variants appears to be increasing annually, however, that of CCoV IIa remains unchanged and is most prevalent (75.4%). CPV-2b was most prevalent among CPV-2 variants (93.0%) and CPV-2c was undetected. Concurrent infection with CCoV and CPV-2 was detected in 12.1% of samples. The peak incidence of CCoV and CPV-2 infection was at 7 weeks of age.
