Specimens obtained from 96 dogs with respiratory and enteric clinical signs in Japan were retrospectively examined for group 2 coronavirus by reverse transcription-PCR. Two dogs were found to be positive. Phylogenetic analysis of the spike gene indicated that they were most probably related to the canine respiratory coronavirus recently described in the United Kingdom.
