In this study 52 canine fecal samples were examined for the presence of canine parvovirus (CPV). The two different test systems used to confirm infection were electron microscopy as standard method and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In comparison, the results conferred in 92.3%. The CPV ELISA had a sensitivity of 89.7% and a specificity of 100%. Therefore, it can be used as a quick, reliable method for diagnosis of canine parvovirus infection in veterinary practice.
