AI Article Synopsis
- The study in India found a nearly complete genome sequence for CBuV, showing high genetic similarity (93.42-98.81%) with known CBuV strains and lower similarity with human bufavirus and canine parvovirus.
- This research highlights the importance of monitoring CBuV in India, as the strain aligns with Chinese versions, indicating a shared Asian lineage.
Article Abstract
Canine bufavirus (CBuV), a novel protoparvovirus of dogs that is associated with enteric and respiratory symptoms, has been reported only in Italy and China. The enteric prevalence of CBuV in India was investigated, and the nearly complete genome sequence (4292 bp) was amplified and reconstructed for one strain. A nucleotide sequence alignment indicated 93.42-98.81% identity to the other available CBuV sequences and 70.88-73.39% and 54.4-54.8% identity to human bufavirus and canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2), respectively. The current strain is most closely related to Chinese CBuV strains, which together form an Asian lineage. This first report of the prevalence of CBuV in India emphasizes the need for further epidemiological surveillance.
