...nic virus in puppies and dogs. It was first reported in 1978; however, it was later replaced by three antigenic variants at different periodic intervals that now circulate globally with random strains. This particular study aimed to determine the genetic changes in the VP2 gene, which are responsible for creating different antigenic variants, and to understand their impact on pathogenicity. In contrast, molecular characterization has become an essential tool i...
