Article Abstract
The continuous emergence of new strains of canine parvovirus (CPV), poorly protected by current vaccination, is a concern among breeders, veterinarians, and dog owners around the world. Therefore, the understanding of the genetic variation in emerging CPV strains is crucial for the design of disease control strategies, including vaccines. In this paper, we obtained the sequences of the full-length gene encoding for the main capsid protein (VP2) of 11 canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) Argentine representative field strains, selected from a total of 75 positive samples studied in our laboratory in the last 9 years. A comparative sequence analysis was performed on 9 CPV-2c, one CPV-2a, and one CPV-2b Argentine strains with respect to international strains reported in the GenBank database. In agreement with previous reports, a high degree of identity was found among CPV-2c Argentine strains (99.6-100% and 99.7-100% at nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively). However, the appearance of a new substitution in the 440 position (T440A) in four CPV-2c Argentine strains obtained after the year 2009 gives support to the variability observed for this position located within the VP2, three-fold spike. This is the first report on the genetic characterization of the full-length VP2 gene of emerging CPV strains in South America and shows that all the Argentine CPV-2c isolates cluster together with European and North American CPV-2c strains.

Article Synopsis
- Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a serious virus affecting dogs and wild carnivores, with high mutation rates making it a challenging pathogen.
- A study in Shandong involved testing 62 samples from sick dogs, finding a 62.9% positivity rate for CPV, with the majority being subtype CPV-2c.
- Researchers identified new mutations in the virus that could affect how it interacts with hosts and its vaccine efficacy, and one particularly dangerous strain was isolated and found to be fatal to dogs in animal tests.

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.

Unlabelled: Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is a member of the Parvoviridae family, characterized by its small, non-enveloped virions containing a linear single-stranded DNA genome of approximately 5 kb. Parvoviruses entirely reliant on the host cell's division machinery for replication. In this study, we demonstrate that CPV-2 infection triggers the host translation shutoff, a process in which the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) plays a pivotal role.

Article Synopsis
- Canine parvovirus type-2 (CPV-2) is a highly contagious virus causing severe gastrointestinal diseases in dogs, with high fatality rates globally.
- A study collected 130 rectal swabs from dogs showing gastroenteritis symptoms in central and eastern China from 2020 to 2023, revealing 118 positive samples mainly of the CPV-2c variant.
- Analysis of the VP2 gene indicated mutations affecting the protein's structure, contributing to CPV-2's complex evolution, which could inform updates to existing vaccines.
