Canine Parvovirus and Vaccine-Origin Feline Panleukopenia Virus in Wastewater, Arizona, USA: July 2022-June 2023.

ABSTRACT: Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a virus of veterinary health significance and a member of the Parvoviridae family. Despite its clinical significance and global distribution, surveillance is often limited to cases serious enough to result in veterinary visit and/or hospitalization, thereby limiting our understanding of its evolution and diversity. In this study, we coupled wastewater surveillance (WWS), long-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and long-read sequencing and demonstrate the utility of this approach for community-level monitoring of parvovirus diversity. We screened archived viral concentrates from wastewater (WW) collected monthly from July 2022 to June 2023 as part of a previous virus surveillance study from a population of ~500,000 people in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
