RESUMO
The clinical and laboratory findings in puppies naturally infected with canine coronavirus (CCoV) and/or canine parvovirus (CPV) were compared with findings in uninfected puppies. Lymphopenia was the only parameter related to CCoV infection that was statistically significant; vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, hemorrhagic fluid diarrhea, leukopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypoglycemia, and hypoproteinemia were correlated with CPV infection.
Résultats cliniques, hématologiques et biochimiques chez des chiots atteints de l'entérite à coronavirus et à parvovirus. Les résultats cliniques et de laboratoire chez des chiots naturellement infectés par le coronavirus canin (CoVC) et/ou le parvovirus canin (PVC) ont été comparés aux résultats des chiots non infectés. La lymphopénie était le seul paramètre statistiquement significatif associé à l'infection par le CoVC; les vomissements, l'anorexie, la léthargie, la diarrhée liquide hémorragique, la leucopénie, la lymphopénie, la thrombocytopénie, l'hypoglycémie et l'hypoprotéinémie étaient tous associés à l'infection par le PVC.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).

Feline caliciviruses (FCVs) have occasionally been described in cats in association with enteric disease, but an etiological role for these viruses in acute gastroenteritis is still unclear. In this study, molecular characterization of FCV and feline norovirus (FNoV) was undertaken using real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and sequence analysis of the ORF1 region in fecal specimens from 29 diarrheic cats. The specimens were also screened for parvovirus, coronavirus, astrovirus and group A rotavirus. A quantitative one step RT-PCR was also performed to detect and quantitate NoV genogroup IV and the role of these animal caliciviruses in feline gastroenteritis was investigated. This is the first description of enteric FCV and FNoV in South America.
