Declarations

:

: The authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/ or publication of this article.

: The work described in this manuscript involved the use of non-experimental (owned or unowned) animals. The approval from the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC) to carry out this study was not required as no invasive technique was followed. Faecal samples were being collected from CPV/FPV suspected or apparently healthy animals from Veterinary hospitals, adoption centres, and Animal rescue shelters in Southern India. Established internationally recognised high standards (‘best practice’) of veterinary clinical care for the individual patient were always followed. Ethical approval from a committee was therefore not specifically required for publication.

: Informed verbal consent was obtained from the owner or legal custodian of all animals described in this work (non-experimental animals) for the collection of sample for testing for parvovirus diagnosis.
