Abstract

A newly developed test kit for detecting canine parvovirus (CPV) antigens in feces employs the immunochromatography method with a monoclonal antibody against the virus. It has been shown to be reactive with CPV type 2 and CPV subtypes 2a and 2b but not with the 5 other major infectious viruses in dogs. Since it enabled us to detect CPV antigens from the feces of experimentally CPV-infected dogs, this kit is considered a simple diagnostic tool for detecting CPV in small-animal practice.
