Fig. 1.

Amplicons of the full-length VP2 gene of canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) (1,755 bp) resolved on agarose gel as confirmation of parvovirus infection in European shorthair and crossbred cats in central Slovakia based on the presence of this gene in rectal swab samples. L – GeneRuler 1 kb DNA Ladder; I – group with clinical signs of parvovirus infection; II – group with close contact with parvovirus-infected animals; + – positive control (CPV-2-positive sample)
