“…This is a mutant of CPV-2b which involved the substitution Aspartate (Asp) 426 Glutamate (Glu) occurring in a main neutralizing epitope of the capsid (BUONAVOGLIA et al, 2001). Since its has been identified, CPV-2c has been spread over local canine population and has also been found in other European countries (DECARO et al, 2007), in Asia (NAKAMURA et al, 2004;NANDI et al, 2009), in Africa (TOUIHRI et al, 2009) and in the America; USA (HONG et al, 2007;KAPIL et al, 2007), Argentina (CALDERON et al, 2009), Brazil (CASTRO et al, 2010 and Uruguay (PEREZ et al, 2007 The CPV variants differ in amino acid changes occurring at residue 426 of the capsid protein, with types CPV-2a, CPV-2b, CPV-2c displaying amino acids Asparagine (Asn), Asp and Glu, respectively (BUONAVOGLIA et al, 2001).…”
