Abstract
Canine parvovirus is known as the etiological agent
of haemorrhagic enteritis in dogs which sometimes |
ends fataly in young puppies due to severe myocardi-
tis (Appel and Carmichael, 1978; Peru et al., 1980;
and Meyer, 1980). The infection of dogs with Canine
Parvovirus (CPV) has been reported to be widely dist-
ributed in many countries of the world like Holland
(Osterhaus et al., 1980), Israel (Peru et al., 1980),
West Germany (Klunker et al., 1983), USA (Kramer et
al., 1980 and Carmichael et al., 1981), as well as
Australia (Sabine et al., 1982), Costa Rica (Hernendez
et al., 1984), India (Sherikar and Paranjape, 1985),
and Nigeria (Kamalu, 1985). In Egypt CPV infection has
been first reported to occur in police dogs only from
clinical and histopathological findings (Bucci et al.,
1982),
In the last 2 decades, enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay has found its way in the field of rapid diagn-
osis of a variety of animal diseases (Bommel,1983
and Charan and Guatam, 1984) bacause of its simpli-
Cty, sensitivity and specificity over most other most
other serological assays for antigen and antibody
detection, The successful detection CPV anti-
