Cytokine dysregulation and lymphopenia in dogs naturally infected with canine parvovirus type 2c

Key Points

• Cytokine levels showed significant dysregulation in infected dogs, indicating immune system disruption.
• Lymphopenia was present in 70% of the examined dogs, suggesting a compromised immune response.
• Assessment using clinical samples revealed distinct immune markers associated with canine parvovirus type 2c.
• Findings highlight the need for improved therapeutic strategies in treating parvovirus infections.
