Since its emergence in Nigeria, canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) infection has posed problems to dog breeding and requires constant awareness and monitoring. In this study, the status, the assessment of extrinsic risk factors of parvoviral infection in dog kennels in North Central Nigeria, and isolation of the CPV-2 were carried out. Potential risk factors were considered during sampling: age, breed, sex, location, vaccination and health status, using well-structured questionnaires on dog owners with experience of CPV-2 infection. There was high prevalence which depended on age, breed, location, clinical status of the dog while vaccination status of the dogs did not influence the prevalence. CPV-2 vaccination compliance by the breeders and management system of the kennels were also observed as risk factors. Isolation of CPV-2a and -2c strains from Nigeria for further study has been reported. The spread of CPV-2 in Nigeria is increasing, hence needs for continual epidemiological monitoring and review.

自从它在尼日利亚出现以来，2型细小病毒（CPV-2）感染已给狗的繁殖带来了问题，需要不断的关注和监测。在这项研究中，对尼日利亚北部中部犬舍中细小病毒感染的外部风险因素的现状，评估以及对CPV-2的分离进行了研究。抽样过程中考虑了潜在的危险因素：年龄，品种，性别，位置，疫苗接种和健康状况，使用结构良好的问卷对有CPV-2感染经验的犬主进行了调查。患病率很高，这取决于犬的年龄，品种，位置，临床状况，而犬的疫苗接种状况并不影响患病率。饲养员和犬舍管理系统对CPV-2疫苗的依从性也被视为危险因素。据报道，从尼日利亚分离出CPV-2a和-2c菌株用于进一步研究。CPV-2在尼日利亚的传播正在增加，因此需要持续进行流行病学监测和审查。
