Abstract:

In order to investigate the epidemic characteristics and variation of canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) in Henan Province, a total of 790 dog fecal samples were randomly collected in eight regions of Henan Province from 2020 to 2021. The pathogen detection of CAV-2 was carried out by PCR method, and the genetic evolution analysis was carried out based on E3 gene. At the same time, MDCK cells were used to isolate the virus, and the isolated strain was further identified by negative staining transmission electron microscopy, cell sensitivity spectrum test, erythrocyte hemagglutination spectrum test and physical and chemical characteristics analysis. The results showed that the total positive rate of CAV-2 was 1.39% (11/790). Region, age and immunization status could significantly affect the positive rate of CAV-2 (P < 0.05). Among them, Zhoukou City (3/40, 7.50%) had the highest infection rate. Dogs within 6 months old and immunocompromised were susceptible, and the positive rates were 2.69% (8/297) and 1.91% (10/524), respectively. There was no significant relationship between season and sex of dogs and viral infection (P>0.05). Eleven positive samples were sequenced and 5 sequences were obtained. Based on the genetic evolution analysis of CAV-2 E3 gene, 4 sequences were located in the same branch as the domestic CAV-2 HB1 strain, and 1 sequence was located in the same branch as the European and American strains. The positive samples were identified by plaque purification and virus identification. It was confirmed that the isolated virus was CAV-2, named CAV2-HN21. This study enriched the molecular epidemiological data of CAV-2 and successfully isolated a CAV-2 strain, which provided a theoretical basis for the follow-up study of CAV-2 prevention and control measures.
