The clinical microbiology and laboratory findings in puppies naturally infected with Canine Coronavirus (CCoV) and/or Canine Parvovirus (CPV) were compared with findings in uninfected puppies. Lymphopenia was the only parameter related to CCoV infection that was statistically significant, vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, hemorrhagic fluid diarrhea, leukopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypoglycemia and hypoproteinemia were correlated with CPV infection.
Canine parvovirosis is globally distributed disease of dogs, caused by canine parvovirus. This study was conducted to evaluate the sero-prevalence and their associated risk factors for canine parvovirus infection along with the changes in hematological and biochemical parameters in between seropositive and seronegative dogs. A total of 154 dogs affected from gastroenteritis were screened for this study, out of which 33 dogs.. View More»
