“…A substitution from tyrosine (Y) to histidine (H) at the position of 549, which was speculated to be related to CDV adaptation to wild carnivores [21], has been observed in many Japanese isolates from wild animals [15], but this Y549H substitution was not observed in CDV isolates analyzed in the present study (Yamaguchi/WT/100311, Yamaguchi/RD/091204, and Yamaguchi/RD/091216). Amino acid sequences of our isolates showed 95.9-98.4% identity to those of other strains of genotype Asia-1, 91.8-94.2% to those of other genotypes, and 89.5-89.9% identity to that of Onderstepoort (data not shown).…”

“…In Japan, some epidemics of CDV have been reported among wild animals. In Wakayama Prefecture, 8 raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and one weasel (Mustela itatsi) died of CDV infection between April 2007 and January 2008 [15]. In Kochi Prefecture, masked palm civets (Paguma larvata), Japanese badgers (Meles meles), and a large number of raccoon dogs have died of CDV infection since 2005 [37,40].…”

ABSTRACT. Canine distemper virus (CDV), a morbillivirus that causes one of the most contagious and lethal viral diseases known in canids, has an expanding host range, including wild animals. Since December 2009, several dead or dying wild raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) were found in and around one safari-style zoo in Japan, and CDV was isolated from four of these animals. In the subsequent months (January to February 2010), 12 tigers (Panthera tigris) in the zoo developed respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, and CDV RNA was detected in fecal samples of the examined tigers. In March 2010, one of the tigers developed a neurological disorder and died; CDV was isolated from the lung of this animal. Sequence analysis of the complete hemagglutinin (H) gene and the signal peptide region of the fusion (F) gene showed high homology among these isolates (99.8-100%), indicating that CDV might have been transmitted from raccoon dog to tiger. In addition, these isolates belonged to genotype Asia-1 and had lower homology (<90%) to the vaccine strain (Onderstepoort). Seropositivity of lions (Panthera leo) in the zoo and wild bears (Ursus thibetanus) captured around this area supported the theory that a CDV epidemic had occurred in many mammal species in and around the zoo. These results indicate a risk of CDV transmission among many animal species, including large felids and endangered species.

“…Key aspects for the control of CDV and for minimizing its threat to domestic dogs and wildlife should include the identification of infection reservoirs, of the mechanisms by which infections are sustained within reservoirs, and of the sources and routes of transmission from reservoirs to species of concern (Martella et al, 2008). Domestic dogs are one of the most numerous carnivores in the world (Daniels e Bekoff, 1989; Acosta-Jamett et al, 2011), and they are particularly abundant in urban and rural areas of some developing countries.…”

To help understand why there is a prevalence of canine distemper in Brazil, we interviewed 404 owners of dogs that were in clinics or veterinary hospitals about distemper. Our results showed that 80.4% of respondents knew about distemper and 67.6% knew that it is a severe and fatal disease. Approximately 50.9% knew that distemper can be prevented by the use of the vaccine, but 60.9% did not know about distemper vaccines. Our results show that the lack of knowledge and, consequently, the lack of vaccination against distemper may be the most important factors in the endemic presence of distemper in Brazil.Keywords: canine distemper, control of canine distemper, public knowledge, distemper vaccine. ResumoCom a finalidade de entender a prevalência da cinomose canina no Brasil, foram entrevistados 404 proprietários de cães que estiveram em clínica e hospitais veterinários, sobre os diferentes aspectos da cinomose. Os resultados mostraram que 80,4% dos entrevistados conhecem a cinomose e sabem que ela é uma doença grave e fatal (67,6%). Cerca de 50,9% sabem que a cinomose pode ser prevenida com o uso de vacina, mas 60,9% não conhecem a vacina contra a cinomose canina. Os resultados revelam que a falta de informação e consequentemente a falta de uso da vacina contra cinomose podem ser os fatores mais importantes para presença endêmica da cinomose em nosso meio.Palavras-chave: cinomose canina, conhecimento da população, controle de cinomose canina, vacinação contra cinomose.

Canine morbillivirus, also known as canine distemper virus (CDV), induces a contagious multisystemic disease caused by an enveloped RNA virus belonging to the genus Morbillivirus within the family Paramyxoviridae . CDV replicates readily in epithelial, nerve and lymphoid tissues; it is excreted in urine, feces, saliva, oral and nasal discharge; and its major route of entry for infection is through the respiratory system. Although the virus was originally believed to infect domestic dogs, new studies have shown that it can also naturally or experimentally infect non‐domestic hosts. A recent blood test performed on a giant anteater ( Myrmecophaga tridactyla ) found Lentz inclusions in the animal's leucocytes. A rapid CDV test, an RT‐PCR assay and pathology findings confirmed this report of canine morbillivirus in this species, which corresponds to the second report of CDV infection in the order Pilosa, family Myrmecophagidae in central west Brazil.
