Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is a relevant pathogen for dogs and causes a severe disease in carnivore species. CPV-2 reached pandemic proportions after the 1970s with the worldwide dissemination, generating antigenic and genetic variants (CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c) with different pathobiology in comparison with the original type CPV-2. The present study aimed to assess the current global CPV-2 molecular phylogeny and to analyze genetic diversity and temporal spreading of variants from Brazil. A total of 284 CPV-2 whole-genome sequences (WGS) and 684 VP2 complete genes (including 23 obtained in the present study) were compared to analyze phylogenetic relationships. Bayesian coalescent analysis estimated the time to the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) and the population dynamics of the different CPV-2 lineages in the last decades. The WGS phylogenetic tree demonstrated two main clades disseminated worldwide today. The VP2 gene tree showed a total of four well-defined clades distributed in different geographic regions, including one with CPV-2 sequences exclusive from Brazil. These clades do not have a relationship with the previous classification into CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c, despite some having a predominance of one or more antigenic types. Temporal analysis demonstrated that the main CPV-2 clades evolved within a few years (from the 1980s to 1990s) in North America and they spread worldwide afterwards. Population dynamics analysis demonstrated that CPV-2 presented a major dissemination increase at the end of the 1980s / beginning of the 1990s followed by a period of stability and a second minor increase from 2000 to 2004.

Background: In developing countries such as Uganda, domestic dogs suffer high burdens of infectious diseases often with high mortalities. Surveillance data on the common diseases and associated mortalities is however scanty. We thus, present results of a retrospective study of common clinical conditions and mortalities of dogs brought for treatment at the small animal clinic, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of virus inactivation methods used in the manufacturing process of porcine-derived gelatin, which is commonly used in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
- - Researchers tested various model viruses and found that both chemical and heat treatments significantly reduced viral presence, achieving a log reduction value (LRV) greater than 4, indicating effective inactivation.
- - The findings confirm that implementing these treatment steps in gelatin production enhances safety by minimizing potential viral contamination in biomedical applications.

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.
