Molecular detection and quantification of canine parvovirus 2 using a fast and sensitive SYBR green-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay in dogs affected with gastroenteritis.

Background And Aim: Viral gastroenteritis in canines is primarily caused by the canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2). Infections by this virus can cause severe consequences in dogs, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, septicemia, systemic inflammation, and immunosuppression. Therefore, the mortality rate of persistent infections caused by this virus is significantly high.
