IMPORTANT READ #1
The Whole Story About Heartworm (much of which you may not be told otherwise)

This is a very important work and I wish to thank the author, Lee Cullens. He has given his permission to crosspost this for download. It is a long paper but I encourage you to read every word! You must have CORRECT knowledge in order to make informed choices, especially ones as important as dealing with heartworm prevention and/or treatment.

Studies on Parvo - thanks Dawn!

Okay, here are some of the studies that have been done on Parvo 2c (some are for multiple strains):

http://jcm.asm.org/cgi/content/full/45/12/4044?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=genotypes&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=1510&resourcetype=HWFIG
2006-2007
includes vaccinated dogs - check out the chart on page 2 of the PDF version of the study (Table 1 of the HTML format)

http://www.cdc.gov/EID/content/13/8/pdfs/1222.pdf
The CDC's document regarding Parvovirus in general. Includes info on all strains - 2, 2a, 2b and 2c. References 2c back to the year 2000.

http://www.cdc.gov/EID/content/13/8/pdfs/1222.pdf
Only an abstract (which I find annoying), but I found the last line rather interesting:
"No significant associations were found between CPV type, clinical outcome, breed, vaccination status, or age."
Also of interest, this report notes that 2c was first seen in Germany in 1996, 4 years before it was "officially" reported in Italy.

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=96121
Canine parvovirus 2a and 2c in CATS. Study date is back in 2001.

Study paper re: first detection in South America

http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:102327
Another abstract re: parvovirus in Australia. Date 2005. Needless to say, I can't get my hands on the FULL study report, only the abstract.
"The vaccine failures investigated in the study were likely caused not by genetic variation of field viruses but by maternal antibody interference in the response of pups to vaccination."

http://jcm.asm.org/cgi/content/full/42/3/1333?ck=nck
Italian study published in 2002. Note: Glu-426 is the "lab" name for parvo 2c. I think it has since then been formally renamed to 2c to avoid confusion.
