RRT-PCR, real-time RT-PCR. Results are expressed as CCoV type II RNA copy number/μl of template. VI, virus isolation. Results are expressed as positive (+) or negative (−).

a

Dogs succumbed to natural infection (described by Decaro et al., 2007b).

b

Dogs euthanized after experimental infection (this study).
