A clinico-epidemiological study was conducted at two veterinary hospitals in Dhaka to evaluate the prevalence of parvoviral enteritis (PVE) in dogs and feline panleukopenia (FPL) in cats, to detect factors associated with them, and to identify their common clinical signs.
Clinico-epidemiological data were collected for a total of 88 dogs and 129 cats which were presented to the hospitals, entered into MS excel 2010, and then transferred to STATA-14 software for conducting descriptive and univariable statistical analyses (Fisher's exact test). The maps showing the spatial distribution of PVE and FPL were produced by using QGIS software version 2.18.13.
PVE in dogs and FPL in cats had the highest prevalence compared to other diseases (34.1%; 95% confidence interval: 24.3-44.9; = 88 and 20.2%; 95% confidence interval: 13.6-28.1; = 129, respectively). Young age (43.8%), poor body condition (58.4%), and exotic breeds (44.2%) were significantly associated with the occurrence of PVE ( ≤ 0.05). Poor body condition (27.8%) and non-vaccination status (26.7%) were associated with FPL ( ≤ 0.05). Both PVE and FPL showed clinical signs of being off-feed, frequent vomiting, weakness, and moderate dehydration.
The high prevalence of PVE and FPL indicates that they are common in dogs and cats in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The factors related to PVE are young age, exotic breed, and poor body condition score (BCS), and FPL are poor BCS and non-vaccination. Specific measures such as care during younger age, good nutrition, and routine vaccination are needed to prevent and control PVE and FPL in Dhaka's dog and cat population.
在达卡的两家兽医医院开展了一项临床流行病学研究，以评估犬细小病毒性肠炎（PVE）和猫泛白细胞减少症（FPL）的患病率，检测与之相关的因素，并确定其常见临床症状。
收集了共88只犬和129只猫的临床流行病学数据，这些动物被送至医院，录入MS excel 2010，然后转移至STATA - 14软件进行描述性和单变量统计分析（Fisher精确检验）。使用QGIS软件版本2.18.13绘制显示PVE和FPL空间分布的地图。
与其他疾病相比，犬的PVE和猫的FPL患病率最高（分别为34.1%；95%置信区间：24.3 - 44.9；n = 88和20.2%；95%置信区间：13.6 - 28.1；n = 129）。年轻（43.8%）、身体状况差（58.4%）和外来品种（44.2%）与PVE的发生显著相关（P≤0.05）。身体状况差（27.8%）和未接种疫苗状态（26.7%）与FPL相关（P≤0.05）。PVE和FPL均表现出食欲不振、频繁呕吐、虚弱和中度脱水的临床症状。
PVE和FPL的高患病率表明它们在孟加拉国达卡的犬猫中很常见。与PVE相关的因素是年轻、外来品种和身体状况评分（BCS）差，而与FPL相关的是BCS差和未接种疫苗。需要采取诸如幼年时期的护理、良好营养和常规疫苗接种等具体措施来预防和控制达卡犬猫群体中的PVE和FPL。
