Canine parvovirus type-2 (CPV-2), the primary causative agent of serious canine enteric diseases, is highly contagious and associated with high fatality rates worldwide. To comprehend the current emergence of CPV-2 in central and eastern China, 130 rectal swabs from domestic or stray dogs with gastroenteritis symptoms were collected during 2020&ndash:2023. A total of 118 positive samples were detected via polymerase chain reaction, and further used to amplify and sequence the VP2 gene. Sequence analysis of the deduced amino acids of VP2 protein indicated that CPV-2c was the most prevalent variant (n = 106, 89.83%), followed by the novel CPV-2a (n = 10, 8.47%) and CPV-2b (n = 2, 1.69%) variants. The VP2 protein from the obtained and reference strains showed 86.95% (AH2103 and HB2108) to 99.94% identity. Based on the nine predicted recombination events, some prevalent CPV-2c strains were highly similar to previously isolated strains, indicating their complex evolution and recombination. The predicted analysis suggested that mutations in the antigen epitope (Val219Ile, Phe267Tyr, and Asn426Glu) and other mutations (Met87Leu, Ile101Thr, and Ser297Ala) affect the tertiary structure of the VP2 protein. This research will help us understand the recent evolution and mutation of Chinese CPV-2 and provide suggestions for updating the CPV-2 vaccine.
