“…However, since no vaccination programme is applied to free-roaming dogs, all the vaccinated or unvaccinated dogs are at risk of the disease (Lorusso and Savini 2014). In recent years, there have been studies on respiratory and digestive tract infections in dogs living in shelters, but studies on the CD are limited in Turkey (Timurkan and Oguzoglu 2015;Aydin et al 2018;Timurkan et al 2018).…”

In dogs, canine distemper has a worldwide distribution with high morbidity/mortality, despite the widespread usage of vaccines and has no specific treatment. In susceptible animals with the canine distemper virus, respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous system disorders, immunosuppression and cutaneous lesions can also be seen. Especially puppies and unvaccinated dogs are prone to get the viral infection. IgM and IgG antibodies constitute the major component of the natural antibodies produced during the primary and secondary antibody response that have long been recognised to inhibit viral infections. In the present study, the presence of the viral N protein-specific IgM and IgG was investigated by indirect ELISA in naturally infected dogs. Moreover, the rate of outbreaks in naturally infected dogs was shown by the detection of new and re-infections. In the Western Mediterranean region, blood serum samples were collected from 50 unvaccinated dogs for the mentioned infection between 2015 and 2017. At 0–12 months, in the dogs with clinical symptoms, the indirect ELISA detected 4% acute, 54% early convalescent, 40% late convalescent and 2% no infections phases. The clinical manifestations were studied in four main groups follow as: respiratory, gastrointestinal, nervous and cutaneous symptoms. The evaluation showed that the canine distemper virus N protein-specific antibodies detection by the indirect ELISA is quick and safe in naturally infected dogs. In conclusion, the method is very useful for the pre-diagnosis of the disease when evaluated together with the clinical symptoms. It helps to distinguish acute and convalescent (early/late) phases. Distinguishing these phases of infection is important for monitoring the spread of the outbreaks and identifying the risk of severe forms of canine distemper.

“…Canine influenza results from two main subtypes: H3N8 originated in horses, and H3N2 originated in birds (Parrish et al 2014 ). Both subtypes are currently circulating in America, Europe, and Asia (Knesl et al 2009 , An et al 2010 , Bunpapong et al 2014 , Schulz et al 2014 , Sen et al 2016 , Zhou et al 2016 , Voorhees et al 2017 , Watson et al 2017 , Aydin et al 2018 ). The H3N8 equine influenza strain circulating among horses adapted to dogs without genetic reassortment, generating a new canine-specific H3N8 lineage (Waddell et al 1963 ).…”

Influenza A viruses (IAV) are zoonotic pathogens that can cause significant illness in wild and domestic animals, and humans. IAV can infect a broad range of avian and mammalian species, depending on subtype, and avian IAV can be moved over relatively long distances by migratory birds. Although spillover infections from wildlife or domestic animals to humans are an important part of the transmission cycle that can drive outbreaks, the relevance of companion animals, specifically dogs and cats, is not fully understood. A novel pandemic H1N1 reassortant (H1N1pdm09) emerged from swine in 2009, infecting humans, and wild and domestic animals worldwide. During a 2016 human influenza outbreak in Kyiv, subtype H1N1pdm09 predominated and was associated with severe disease and deaths; however, H3N2 and influenza B viruses were also detected. No case of avian influenza in humans was detected. To investigate potential involvement of companion animals, animals in a veterinary hospital (116 cats and 88 dogs) were randomly selected, and sera were tested using a commercially available IAV nucleoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Twelve of 203 serum samples were positive for influenza antibodies (5.7% of dogs and 6.08% cats). These are the first data to demonstrate influenza A infection of pets in Ukraine, highlighting the potential risk of infection of companion animals from close contact with humans.

Öz: İnfluenza A virus (IAV) insan, at, kanatlı ve birçok memeli türünü enfekte eden, zoonotik karakterli ve oldukça bulaşıcı solunum sistemi patojenidir. Bu çalışmada, geleneksel cirit sporunun yaygın olarak yapıldığı Erzurum ilinde solunum sistemi hastalığı belirtileri gösteren atlarda influenza A virusun serolojik ve moleküler yöntemlerle araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Atatürk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesi'ne getirilen 57 at çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Herhangi bir aşı geçmişi olmayan atlara ait serum ve burun swap örneklerinde ELISA ve RT-PCR teknikleri kullanılarak influenza A virus enfeksiyonu araştırılmıştır. ELISA testi sonucunda atların %26.3'ü (15/57) seropozitif olarak belirlenmiştir. Erkek atların %29.8'inde (14/47) İnfluenza A virusa spesifik antikor varlığı belirlenirken, dişi atların %10'unda (1/10) pozitiflik tespit edilmiştir. Moleküler analizler sonucunda IAV'un RNA'sı bu çalışmada tespit edilmemiştir. Bu çalışma ile bölgemiz cirit atı populasyonunda influenza A virus enfeksiyonu araştırılmış ve solunum sistemi problemli atlarda virusa karşı oluşmuş antikorların varlığı serolojik olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak virusun bölgemizdeki cirit atlarında indirekt (antikor) olarak sirküle olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bu sporla uğraşan ve at yetiştiriciliği yapan işletmelerde enfeksiyonun var olabileceği belirlenmiştir. Cirit atlarında influenza virusun varlığının belirlendiği, belirlenen virusun tiplendirildiği ve bu hastalıktan korunma tedbirlerine yönelik daha kapsamlı çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
