Specific fragment of the VP2 gene (583bp) was amplified with primer 555f/55r. Lane M DNA marker (100bp), Lane C+, positive control, Lane C-, Negative control; Lane 1-5 positive sample
Amino acid sequence alignment of VP2 encoding gene including GH loop region (267-498) of CPV-2 North Iraq isolate and a vaccine strain compared to the FJ222822.1_Duramune_DAPPI+LC strain. Samples of strain 2a, 2b, and 2c strains are also retrieved from the GenBank. The field sequence (KX198139- KX198141 and OL546608- OL546621).
Geographical distribution of CPV-2 variants in three regions of Iraq. new CPv-2a in Erbil and Kirkuk, new CPV-2b and CPV-2c in Sulaimani.
