The exposure of 13 Brazilian free-ranging nondomestic canids (five pampas fox Pseudalopex gymnocercus and eight crab-eating fox -Cerdocyon thous) from Southern region of Brazil, to Canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV) and Canine coronavirus (CCoV) was investigated. Antibodies against CDV were detected in 38.5% (5/13) of the samples. There were anti-CDV antibodies in 60% (3/5) o...

Independent of the occurrence of neuropathological lesions, nervous infection by canine distemper virus (CDV) may lead to a variety of neurological signs observed singly or in combination; these signs include behavioral changes, focal to generalized seizures, cerebellar and vestibular signs, visual deficits, paresis and paralysis, tremors and limb weakness, myoclonus, and signs of leptomeningit...

Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) has potential hosts, all carnivores, including wild animals. The associated disease, called canine distemper (CD) a high prevalence and is highly contagious, being one of the main causes death in domestic canids. Although it monotypic virus, that is, with little genetic preference, H gene variation, which would produce different strains some more virulent than other...

Since 1988 morbilliviruses have been increasingly recognized and held responsible for mass mortality amongst harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and other seal species. Virus isolations and characterization proved that morbilliviruses from seals in Northwest Europe were genetically distinct from other known members of this group including canine distemper virus (CDV), rinderpest virus, peste des pet...

A new strain of canine distemper virus, HLJ1-06, has been isolated from foxes in China, and its complete genome has been sequenced and analyzed. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that HLJ1-06 belongs to the Asia-1 cluster and has low identity to the vaccine strain.

This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels in evaluating oxidative stress dogs with canine distemper. The materials consisted 24 cross-breed dogs: 18 distemper (CD group) 6 healthy as control. Blood samples for analysis antioxidant-oxidant parameters were taken from both groups. In addition TDH (native thi...

Between 1988 and 1991, 644 serum samples were collected from 480 grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) and 40 black bears (Ursus americanus) from Alaska, United States of America, and were tested for selected canine viral infections and zoonoses. Antibody prevalence in grizzly bears was 0% for parvovirus, 8.3% (40/480) for distemper, 14% (68/480) for infectious hepatitis, 16.5% (79/480) for b...
