              Abstract 
 Aim:
              The aim of this study was to isolate Canine parvovirus 
              (CPV) from suspected dogs on madin darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell 
              line and its confirmation by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and 
              nested PCR (NPCR). Further, VP2 gene of the CPV isolates was 
              amplified and sequenced to determine prevailing antigenic type. 
              Materials and Methods: A total of 60 rectal swabs were 
              collected from dogs showing signs of gastroenteritis, processed 
              and subjected to isolation in MDCK cell line. The samples showing 
              cytopathic effects (CPE) were confirmed by PCR and NPCR. These 
              samples were subjected to PCR for amplification of VP2 gene of CPV, 
              sequenced and analyzed to study the prevailing antigenic types of 
              CPV. 
              Results: Out of the 60 samples subjected to isolation in MDCK 
              cell line five samples showed CPE in the form of rounding of 
              cells, clumping of cells and finally detachment of the cells. When 
              these samples and the two commercially available vaccines were 
              subjected to PCR for amplification of VP2 gene, a 1710 bp product 
              was amplified. The sequence analysis revealed that the vaccines 
              belonged to the CPV-2 type and the samples were of CPV-2b type. 
              Conclusion: It can be concluded from the present study that 
              out of a total of 60 samples 5 samples exhibited CPE as observed 
              in MDCK cell line. Sequence analysis of the VP2 gene among the 
              samples and vaccine strains revealed that samples belonged to 
              CPV-2b type and vaccines belonging to CPV-2.
