  • The Canine Parvovirus Empty Capsid Structure
    Journal of molecular biology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Michael G. Rossmann
    Abstract:

    Abstract The structure of empty Canine Parvovirus capsids shows that residues 37 to the carboxy-terminal residue 584 (VP2 numbering) are ordered in each of the 60 subunits. The central structural motif of each subunit is the eight-stranded antiparallel β-barrel that has been found in many other virus structures. Five β-hairpin turns form β-cylindrical structure at each icosahedral 5-fold axis. The N-terminal glycine-rich sequence can be accommodated within this cylinder without excessive steric hindrance, consistent with the electron density distribution. By far the largest conformational differences between the full and empty virus were found in the region where some ordered DNA has been observed to bind in Canine Parvovirus full particles. Extensive interactions among 3-fold related subunits indicate that a trimeric subunit might be a viral assembly intermediate.

  • Rapid detection of Canine Parvovirus by Real-time PCR and PCR methods.
    Chinese journal of veterinary science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Xiong Wei, Li Jian, Gao Lihua, Jiang Jing, Li Chunyang, Huang Zhongrong, Hu Yongqiang
    Abstract:

    Canine Parvovirus disease caused by Canine Parvovirus(CPV) is one of the most important Canine diseases with widespread infection and high mortality,which is one of the crucial quarantine diseases for entry-exit pets.In order to accelerate inspection efficiency,the methods of PCR and Real-time PCR using TaqMan probe were established.Comparing with PCR method,Real-time PCR assay was proved to be specific with high sensitivity and efficiency.Further,a great quantity of CPV positive samples collected from different sites were detected by Realtime PCR and PCR to evaluate the reliability of these motheds.The results show Real-time PCR and PCR methods have high reliablity and significantly improve the detection efficiency of CPV positive samples.

  • Analysis of VP2 gene sequences of Canine Parvovirus isolates in India
    Archives of virology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Shankar R. Chinchkar, B. Mohana Subramanian, N. Hanumantha Rao, Pundi N. Rangarajan, D. Thiagarajan, V. A. Srinivasan
    Abstract:

    The epidemiology of Canine Parvovirus (CPV) infections in dogs in India was examined using 27 isolates collected during a two-year period. The VP2 genes of 22 isolates were sequenced, and the deduced amino acid sequences were compared. The results indicated that the isolates belonged to CPV type 2a except four, which belonged to CPV type 2b. Comparison of the VP2 gene sequences revealed that the Indian isolates formed separate lineages distinct from the South East Asian isolates. The Canine Parvovirus isolates in India appear to evolve independently, and distinct geographical patterns of evolution could not be discerned in the isolates examined.
