The study was conducted to compare diagnostic efficacy of two techniques viz. Scan Vet Parvo rapid faecal antigen detection kit and haemagglutination (HA) test with polymerized chain reaction (PCR). A total of 145 fecal samples from dogs showing similar clinical signs of parvovirus infection were collected aseptically from Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College, Navsari. The ScanVet Parvo was able to detect CPV antigen in 34 (68.00%) samples out of 50. The HA test found positive in 44(30.34%) samples, While using PCR, 63 samples (86.00%) were found positive out of 145 including 9 and 19 negative samples of ScanVet Parvo and HA test, respectively. However, both the test showed 100% specificity and sensitivity 79.07% (Scan Vet Parvo) and 69.84 % (HA) versus PCR. Thus, it is suggested that ScanVet Parvo could be employed for the preliminary screening in field condition and HA test in the laboratory. However, negative samples should further be confirmed through PCR.
