Detection and genetic characterization of canine parvoviruses and coronaviruses 1 circulating 2 in Albania

Abstract

An epidemiological survey for canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine coronavirus (CCoV) was 25 conducted in Albania. A total of 57 fecal samples were collected from diarrheic dogs in the District 26 of Tirana during 2011-2013. The molecular analyses detected 53 and 31 CPV and CCoV positive 27 specimens, respectively, with mixed CPV/CCoV infections being diagnosed in 28 dogs. The most 28 frequently detected CPV type was CPV-2a, whereas CCoV-IIa was the predominant CCoV subtype. 29 A better comprehension of the CPV/CCoV epidemiology in eastern European countries will help 30 assess the most appropriate vaccination strategies to prevent these widespread agents of canine 31 acute gastroenteritis.
