The sequence analysis of the PCR products of the M and S genes carried out on the faecal samples from the two pups confirmed that the FCoV-like CCoV had caused the disease (personal observations). On the basis of these preliminary results, a PCR assay was developed to detect and identify the FCoV-like CCoV strains from faecal samples of infected dogs. In a previous study, similar nucleotide substitutions in the binding site of the internal primer CCoV3 used for the n-PCR were demonstrated in the sequence analysis of the PCR products from five faecal samples of pups with diarrhoea. ./cache/cord-328961-waxtb759.txt ./txt/cord-328961-waxtb759.txt
