Abstract
This study was extended for 2 years and covered different seasons of the years 2021 and 2022. The study was aiming at investigating the prevalence of Canine Parvovirus infection among dogs. A total of 599 dogs from different breeds, ages and different localities of Khartoum State were investigated for the presence of Canine Parvovirus infection. According to the results of Canine Parvovirus Ag Rapid Kit for the detection of Canine Parvovirus, the prevalence of Canine Parvovirus in Khartoum State was 7%. Male and female dogs were susceptible for Parvovirus infection with the prevalence of 3.8% and 3.2% respectively. Young ages were more susceptible for the infection. According to ANOVA analysis, the mean infection in winter is higher than that in autumn or summer but there was no statistical significant difference (p-value= 0.289) in Canine Parvovirus infection among the three seasons. According to ANOVA analysis, there was no statistical significant difference (p-value= 0.514) among dog's breeds in Canine Parvovirus infection. Eighty one percent of Canine Parvovirus cases respond for the treatment trials with excessive fluid therapy, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. This is the first study concerning investigation of Canine Parvovirus infection in Khartoum State. The Canine Parvovirus infection is more likely to occur at an early stage of life; therefore, it is recommended for owners of puppies less than 16 weeks to avoid contact with dogs at high risk for canine parvovirus infection or during recovery stage. Vaccination and Deworming programs against different diseases are recommended for dogs.
