Abstract
Canine corona virus (CCV) is one of the important viral diseases of dogs and its presence has recently been reported from India (Pillai et al., 1990). This infection is highly contagious and spreads rapidly through dog population. It is impossible to distinguish between the various causes of gastroenteritis by clinical signs. In the diagnosis, electron microscopy and virus isolation have been used, but these procedures take a long time and are not suitable for handling many samples. Hence, the present study is directed to diagnose the disease by indirect fluorescent antibody assay
