Abstract: This study was aimed to diagnose acid-base disorders of dogs with canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE) and data to establish a rational fluid therapy regimen for patients with CPE. A total of 43 dogs which had clinical signs of CPE and had detected canine parvovirus by polymerase chain reaction, were bled anaerobically from jugular vein at the time of admission. Blood chemical test, determination of electrolytes and blood gas analysis were conducted, and calculated values were obtained from each measured items. The values of blood chemical and electrolytes of dogs with CPE were various depending on the degree of clinical signs, and these tests were not specific to diagnose for CPE. Hypochloremia (20.9%), hyperchloremia (11.6%), hypokalemia (7.0%), hyperkalemia (11.6%), hyponatremia (9.3%) and hypernatremia (18.6%) were diagnosed as abnormalities of electrolytes from 43 dogs with CPE. The 29 out of 43 dogs (67.4%) were metabolic acidosis and 3 dogs (7.0%) were metabolic alkalosis. The acid-base status of 11 dogs out of 43 dogs (25.6%) was normal.

Canine parvovirus(CPV) is a very highly contagious virus causing hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis mainly in young dogs. The diseases were first recognized in 1978, and then spread throughout the world by 1980. The main source of the infection seems to be the feces of infected dogs, at the same time feces are suitable materials for detection of virus in the enteric form exactly for the same reasons. Recently, a new technique of in vitro DNA amplification, Known as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has been widely applied to clinical viral diagnosis because of its sensitivity, specificity and rapidity. In this research, we attemped to set up the PCR for the detection of CPV in fecal samples and conformed the canine parvpviral enteritis by PCR. To increase the sensitivity and specificity of a PCR, the nested PCR (two-step PCR) was performed. We also surveyed the contamination status of CPV in the research using fecal specimen was highly sensitive and specific. Of the 100 fecal specimens suspected canine parvoviral enteritis, 45 fecal specimens were positive in HA test, 64 fecal specimens were positive in the first PCR, and 87 fecal specimens were positive in the second PCR. CPV contamination status of animal clinics and breeding centers was serious, wo hygienic management of environment in which dogs are reared is required. The nested PCR described here seems to be a rapid, sensitive and specific for the detection of canine parvovirus.

Animals and disease frequency of the rescued dogs were investigated in Incheon Veterinary Medical Association Animal Shelter from January in 2012 to December in 2013. Three zoonoses (rabies, brucellosis, and dirofilariosis) and three infectious diseases (canine distemper, canine parvoviral enteritis, and canine influenza) were examined for stray dogs. Among 5,603 heads, 647 (11.5%) went back to their owner and 969 (17.3%) were adopted to new families. Prevalence of dirofilariosis, canine distemper and canine parvoviral enteritis were 2.2% (16/718), 6.0% (24/399) and 6.1% (24/396), respectively. Positive antibody rates against rabies, B. canis and canine influenza virus were 20.5% (41/200), 0.1% (1/718) and 2.0% (4/200), respectively. Protective antibody for canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus were shown in 47.0% (94/200). The data indicate that control measures including facility standards and disease control program are one of the important aspects of the shelter management because stray dogs are exposed to various infectious agents.

Preventive and therapeutic effects of egg yolk antibody, immunoglobulin Y (IgY), against canine parvovirus (CPV) was evaluated in 25 pups orally challenged with CPV-2a. Oral administration of IgY using powder, paste and coated paste delivery systems was compared. Each type of IgY was administered orally for 17 days from 3 days before challenge. The group of pups administered coated IgY showed mild symptoms such as a moderate decrease in total white blood cell count, no depression, vomiting and diarrhea when compared with other groups. The overall clinical score of the group of pups administered coated IgY was significantly lower than that of the challenge control group. However, mortality did not differ among groups because not all pups received symptomatic treatment. These results implied that oral treatment of coated IgY could improve therapeutic effects against CPV challenge if pups received symptomatic treatment.

Background: Canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE) is a fatal disease worldwide. The treatment of CPE is based mainly on supportive and symptomatic treatment. Antiviral addition to the treatment may result in a higher survival. Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of antiviral treatments with a standardized treatment (ST) on the clinical and inflammatory response of dogs with naturally occurring CPE. Methods: Twenty-eight dogs with CPE caused by canine parvovirus type 2 were divided randomly into treatment groups. The ST group received fluid, antibiotic, antiemetic, and deworming treatments. The antiviral treatment groups received the same ST with an additional antiviral drug, recombinant feline interferon omega (rFeIFN-ω), oseltamivir (OSEL) or famciclovir (FAM). Results: Compared to the healthy control, the tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-γ, haptoglobin, and C-reactive protein values were high (p < 0.05) on day zero. At presentation, mild lymphopenia, neutropenia, and a high neutrophil to lymphocyte (LYM) ratio (NLR) were also observed. Adding rFeIFN-ω to the ST produced the best improvement in the clinical score with a decreased NLR, while leucocytes remained low and inflammatory markers stayed high on day three. The survival rates of the groups were 85.7% in ST+IFN, 71.4% in ST+OSEL, 71.4% in ST+FAM, and 57.1% in ST groups on day seven. Conclusions: Antiviral drugs may be valuable in treating CPE to improve the clinical signs and survival. In addition, the decrease in NLR in favor of LYM may be an indicator of the early prognosis before the improvement of leukocytes, cytokines, and acute phase proteins in CPE.

세계적으로 canine parvovirus(CPV) 고역가 백신이 사용된 후 CPV 감염이 효과적으로 관리되고 있지만 국내에서는 아직도 CPV 장염의 발생이 계속되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2003년 6월부터 2005년 5월까지 CPV 장염으로 확진된 140두를 대상으로 CPV 장염의 역학적 조사와 CPV 장염에 이환된 환축의 생존에 영향을 미치는 역학적 요인들에 대하여 조사하였다. CPV 장염은 6-18주령의 예방접종을 실시하지 않았거나 불완전하게 실시한 개체에서 주로 발생하였다. CPV 장염에 이환된 개 중 암컷의 생존율이 숫컷보다 높았으며, 나이가 많을수록 생존율이 높았다(p<0.05). 그리고 HI 항체가가 낮을수록 폐사율이 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 주요 임상증상으로 설사, 구토, 기면과 탈수증상이 대부분의 환축에서 나타났다. 최근 국내에서 발생하는 CPV 장염은 CPV에 대한 예방접종의 실패와 CPV 백신에 대한 면역반응이 부적당한 것에 기인하는 것으로 생각되므로 면역이 완전히 형성되기 전의 어린 개들은 CPV에 오염된 환경에 노출되지 않도록 예방관리 하는 것이 중요하다.

From 1988 to 1989, 8 strains of canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) were isolated from the fecal specimens from the dogs that were clinically diagnosed as canine parvoviral enteritis in the veterinary hospitals located in the regions of Taejon and Chungbuk province. Studios on biological and physicochemical properties for the isolates were carried out. The results obtained by experiments are summarized as follows. 1. Among 62 fecal samples collected from the dogs with enteric diseases, 24 (38.7%) showed the haemagglutinating activity against porcine erythrocyte, ranging from 16 to 16, 384 of HA titers. 2. When 8 fecal specimens with high HA titer over 1, 000 were inocultated into CRFX cells, intranuclear inclusion bodies were obseverd in all of eight specimens, of w)lick three specimens showed cytoplasmic inclusions concurrently with the intranuclear inclusion bodies. 3. In study on species-specificity of haemagglutinating activity of the isolates, TJ-89-1 and TJ-89-2, it was found that the isolates revealed the highest haemagglutinating activity with porcine erythrocytes, showing the relatively lower haemagglutination titers with the erythrocytes from cat and rabbit. None of erythrocytes from other animals reacted with the isolates. 4. By the cross-haemagglutination inhibition test of the Isolates with reference viruses and sera, the Isolates were evidently identified as the strains of canine parvovirus-2. 5. In Physicochemical property test, it was evident that the isolates were stable in, lipid solvent, pH and heat treatment at $56^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. and contain DNA genome. 6. When seven puppies were inoculated intraorally with the isolate at HA titer of 8, 192, all of the puppies showed the symptoms of anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and died at the 5th to 10th days post inoculation(pi). The fecal samples from all of the puppies revealed significantly high HA titers afterward the 5th days pi. Body temperature and the number of total leucocytes were slightly increased at the early stage of infection. but extremely decreased at the stage of collapse. HI titers of the sera started to increase at the 2nd to 3rd days pi reaching 512 to 1, 024 at the 4th to 5th day pi.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a major diarrhea-causing agent in puppies. Since CPV type 2 (CPV-2) emerged in 1978, new antigenic variants including CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c have been identified in many countries. Two puppies died suddenly at a veterinary clinic in Gyeonggi province, South Korea. Two viruses were isolated in A72 cells, confirmed as CPV strains based on a CPV rapid kit and an indirect fluorescence test and designated QIACP1403 and QIACP1404. The nucleotide sequences of complete VP2 genes of QIACP1403 and QIACP1404 were determined, and the corresponding amino acid sequences were deduced. Molecular analyses revealed that the QIACP1403 and QIACP1404 isolates were type CPV-2b. Several mutated amino acids were detected on VP2 gene residues of the two isolates. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the two isolates were most closely related to strain CPV-BM11, which was isolated from Chinese dogs in 2011. Our results suggest that these isolates may be a candidate for a vaccine to prevent CPV infection in dogs after conducting passages of the isolates in an in vitro culture system.

The disease syndrome characterized by the acute vomiting and diarrhea with high mortality had been greatly epidemic in Korea since June, 1931 and it was followed serologically and electron microscopically for the clarification of the agent. The agent present in feces of dogs associated with this syndrome had characteristic feature in agglutinating pig red blood cells that was specifically inhibited by anti-CPV reference dog serum. This also showed the serological identity with the reference CPV antigen in immuno-diffusion. Electron micrograph of the material revealed parvovirus particles with size of 20nm and icosahedral structure. These results clearly indicated that CPV was the primary cause of canine epidemic prevailing in 1981 in Korea.
