Seroprevalence of Canine Parvovirus and Coronavirus Infection in Dogs with Enteritis in Van Province, Turkey

In this study, CPV and CCoV agents were investigated in blood serum samples obtained from dogs exhibiting gastroenteritis symptoms such as vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and fever in the Van region using the ELISA method. For this purpose, blood sera were obtained from 90 dogs aged 0-6 months showing gastroenteritis symptoms at the Van Municipality animal shelter and animal hospital using appropriate methods. As a result of examining the obtained blood sera using the ELISA method, CPV was detected in 4.44% (4/90) of the samples, and CCoV was detected in 7.78% (7/90). The rate at which both agents were detected together was determined to be 6.67% (6/90). This study revealed the presence of CPV and CCoV infections in dogs in the Van region, albeit at a low rate.
