Abstract
Virus surveillance by wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) in two Arizona municipalities in Maricopa County, USA (~700,000 people), revealed the presence of six canine picornavirus (CanPV) variants: five in 2019 and one in 2021. Phylogenetic analysis suggests these viruses might be from domestic dog breeds living within or around the area. Phylogenetic and pairwise identity analyses suggest over 15 years of likely enzootic circulation of multiple lineages of CanPV in the USA and possibly globally. Considering <10 CanPV sequences are publicly available in GenBank as of June 2, 2022, the results provided here constitute an increase of current knowledge on CanPV diversity and highlight the need for increased surveillance.
