Genetic characterization of canine parvovirus type 2 subtypes in Maputo, Mozambique

Abstract: Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) comprises three antigenic subtypes (2a, 2b and 2c) that have been reported in many countries. These subtypes cause serious disease in dogs with characteristic gastroenteritis signs. Little information has been documented in Africa about the genetic characterization of CPV-2. The aim of this study was to detect and to characterize the CPV-2 subtypes circulating in dogs admitted to Veterinary Clinics from two cities of Mozambique, Maputo and Matola, in 2010. A total of 40 field f… Show more

“…During years, CPV spread and evolution have been well documented in North and South America, Europe and Asia (Miranda & Thompson, ; Zhou, Zeng, Zhang, & Li, ). More recently, data about its spread were also obtained from Australia and Africa (Amrani et al, ; Castanheira et al, ; Chollom et al, ; Dogonyaro et al, ; Figuiredo et al, ; Folitse et al, ; Kapiya et al, ; Touhiri et al, ; Woolford et al, ). Most of these studies were based on the partial or complete VP2 gene sequence, due to the involvement of the VP2 capsid protein in host switch and to its fast evolutionary rate (Hueffer et al, ; Nelson, Palermo, Hafenstein, & Parrish, ; Shackelton, Parrish, Truyen, & Holmes, ), with limited information on other CPV encoding gene sequences.…”

“…In the African continent, CPV has been described in South Africa and Namibia (Dogonyaro, Bosman, Sibeko, Venter, & Vuuren, ; Steinel, Venter, Van Vuuren, Parrish, & Truyen, ), Zambia (Kapiya et al, ), Mozambique (Figuiredo et al, ), Ghana (Folitse et al, ), Morocco (Amrani et al, ), Cape Verde (Costanheira et al, ), Nigeria (Chollom et al, ) and Tunisia (Touhiri et al, ). In Nigeria, only recently the molecular analyses based on the partial VP2 gene sequence of CPV strains described the circulating CPV variants (Apaa, Daly, & Tarlinton, ; Dogonyaro et al, ; Fagbohun & Omobowale, ).…”

“…According to Demeter et al (2010), Mbo II-based RFLP analysis is misleading for detection of CPV-2c because CPV-2a can show the same RFLP results as CPV 2c. However, Figueiredo et al (2017) showed that CPV-positive PCR amplicons were not digested with Mbo II enzyme and identified as CPV-2/2a/2b. This suggests that Mbo II-based RFLP analysis is unreliable if used alone to identify CPV-2 variants in samples.…”

“…In Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania, investigation of CPV in dogs has demonstrated that CPV-2a remains the predominant genetic variant, and has not been replaced by CPV-2b or CPV-2c, as in many other countries [83,84] . In Africa, infection of dogs with either CPV-2a or -2b was VANNAMAHAXAY, CHUAMMITRI reported in Nigeria, Mozambique, and South Africa [85,86] ; however, the CPV-2c strain was found to be present in Morocco [87] . The numbers and percentages of detected CPV cases are summarized by region in Fig.…”
