About this Test
Detection of antibodies to canine parvovirus (CPV) by hemagglutination inhibition.
Specimen
0.5 mL serum
Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply.
Determination of the genetic type of canine parvovirus (2a, 2b, or 2c).
Virus isolate, tissue sample, or fecal sample.
