OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.This study provides a comprehensive description of the clinical course of a fatal parvovirus infection in a 33 vaccinated dachshund puppy, along with the first identification of a new CPV-2 variant in Slovakia, elucidated 34 through molecular amino acid analysis of the VP2 gene. Clinical symptoms included apathy, vomiting, and bloody 35 diarrhea. Despite rapid diagnosis and initiation of intensive therapy, the dog succumbed within 48 hours of 36 admission to the University Veterinary Hospital. A fecal sample was examined. The coding sequence of the CPV37 2b strain (VP2 426Asp) was obtained. The substitution on residue 297 of the VP2 protein (Ser to Ala) is used as a 38 genomic marker for the so-called \"new CPV-2a/2b\" variants, and currently, it predominates among the strains 39 circulating in dogs. The virus detected in the patient was related to strains of CPV-2c of Asian origin and unrelated 40 to European CPV-2b strains. The sequence had genetic signatures typical of Asian strains (VP2: 5Gly, 267Tyr, 41 324Ile, 370Arg, and 440Thr). Phylogenetic analysis classified this strain as similar to Asian strains of CPV-2c. It 42 is believed to be derived from an Asian strain similar to CPV-2c that acquired the 426Asp mutation. With this 43 finding, we present the first evidence of an Asian CPV-2b strain in the territory of Slovakia
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishDetection of the CPV-2 strain confirms the first evidence of an Asian strain of CPV-2b associated with Asian strains similar to CPV-2c on the territory of Slovakia, which does not correspond to European strains. Rectal swab from an animal that died within 48 hours of an acute course of parvovirosis with overall organ failure following previous vaccination was used for diagnosis. In conclusion, the Slovakia/Kosice/47/2022 isolate identified in this study is antigenically classified as CPV-2b, but phylogenetically is a part of the Asian CPV-2c clade with which it shared several mutations in VP2 capsid protein. Considering the mentioned factors, these mutations may have an impact on the effectiveness of current vaccines and the virus\'sability to evade the canine immune system. This could also lead to the potential inadequate immune response and explain why, despite being vaccinated, a puppy from this study succumbed to the parvovirus infection in a short time.
