The disease syndrome characterized by acute vomiting and diarrhea with high mortality was prevalent in Korea [R.]. The agent present in the faces of dogs associated with this syndrome had the characteristic feature agglutinating red blood cells that was specifically inhibited by anti-CPV (canine parvovirus) reference dog serum. This also showed the serological identity with the reference CPV antigen in immuno-diffusion. Electron micrograph of the material revealed parvovirus particles with the size of 20nm and icosahedral structure. These results clearly indicated that CPV was the primary cause of canine epidemic prevailing in 1981 in Korea [R.].
