Genetic variability and phylogenetic analysis of the VP2 gene of feline parvovirus in Harbin

The findings suggest that the FPV lineages circulating in China have remained relatively stable in recent years, with evolution influenced by both random genetic drift and gene recombination. This study provides insights into the genetic diversity of FPV in Harbin, highlighting point mutations and recombination events. Further investigation is warranted to determine the antigenic compatibility of circulating recombinant strains with traditional vaccine strains.
