“…Based on the full sequence of the H gene from CDV strains isolated worldwide [ 14 ], to date, diverse genotypes have been described: America-1 (which includes almost all commercially available vaccine strains), America-2 to -5, Arctic-like, Rockborn-like, Asia-1 to -4, Africa-1 to -2, European Wildlife, Europe/South America-1, South America-2 and -3 and South/North America-4 [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The South American 3 lineage was previously described as circulating among domestic dog populations in Colombia [ 27 ]. This lineage exhibited differences in the amino acidic sequence in comparison to vaccine and wild-type strains circulating around the world [ 17 ].…”
