An outbreak of neonatal death associated to Canine minute virus (CnMV) infection is reported.Three Jack Russel terrier newborn littermates died as a result of systemic disease and necropsy revealed the presence of severe lesions in internal organs. A CnMV strain was detected by polymerase chain reaction in all analysed samples. Serological and molecular assays confirmed the CnMV circulation in the breeding kennel. By sequence and phylogenetic analyses the CnMV strain was found to be strictly related to a recent Japanese isolate.

Abstract
An outbreak of neonatal death associated to Canine minute virus (CnMV) infection is reported.Three Jack Russel terrier newborn littermates died as a result of systemic disease and necropsy revealed the presence of severe lesions in internal organs. A CnMV strain was detected by polymerase chain reaction in all analysed samples. Serological and molecular assays confirmed the CnMV circulation in the breeding kennel. By sequence and phylogenetic analyses the CnMV strain was found to be strictly related to a recent Japanese isolate.File in questo prodotto:
