Analysis of viral diversity in dogs with acute gastroenteritis from Brazilian Amazon.

Viral gastroenteritis is commonly reported in dogs and involves a great diversity of enteric viruses. In this research, viral diversity was investigated in dogs with diarrhea in Northern Brazil using shotgun metagenomics. Furthermore, the presence of norovirus (NoV) was investigated in 282 stool/rectal swabs of young/adult dogs with or without diarrhea from two public kennels, based on one-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for genogroup VI and VII (GVI and GVII) and real-time RT-PCR for GI, GII, and GIV.

Nearly Complete Genome Sequences of Two Canine Strains from Latin America.

We report the nearly complete genome sequences of CAstV-PK01 and CAstV-PK03, two canine astrovirus strains belonging to the species , which were detected in fecal swab samples collected from puppies with diarrhea from two different kennels in the Brazilian Amazon.
