Plain-English summary
A group of 36 puppies in Ulaanbaatar City showed signs of severe illness, including vomiting and diarrhea, which raised concerns about canine parvovirus. Testing revealed that 23 of these puppies were infected with the more dangerous CPV-2b strain of the virus. Canine parvovirus is highly contagious and can lead to serious conditions like severe intestinal bleeding. Understanding the prevalence of this virus is crucial for managing outbreaks and protecting dogs in the area.

Abstract
Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes fatal disease acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis in dogs. The aim of this work is to detect canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Viral DNA was isolated from faecel samples of 36 puppies with suspicious symptoms for parvovirus infection and used as template in standard PCR. 23 samples wereof CPV-2b serotype, 9 samples of CPV-2a serotype but 4 samples were neither 2b and nor 2a. We used two different primer sets, one specific both serotypes CPV-2a and CPV-2b and one specific only for CPV-2b. This allowed us to differentiate serotypes from each other. The further extension of this work will be essential for the epidemiology, viral evolution and phylogenetic studies of the mongolian domestic canine, cats and wild carnivores.Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences Vol.15(2) 2015; 71-74
