Abstract

Canine parvoviruses (CPVs) is a category comprising three closely related viruses, CPV, feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV), and mink enteritis virus, all of which cause serious diseases, especially in young cats. In this study, molecular detection and genetic analysis of a partial VP2 gene region of CPVs from domestic cats living in Turkey between 2006 and 2010 was performed by PCR amplification and sequence analysis. The results indicated that CPV-2a, CPV-2c, and FPLV were circulating in vaccinated and unvaccinated cats. This is the first description of molecular characterization of CPVs in domestic cats from Turkey.
