| sequencing of emerging canine distemper virus strain reveals new distinct genetic lineage in the united states associated with disease in wildlife and domestic canine populations. | recent outbreaks of canine distemper have prompted examination of strains from clinical samples submitted to the university of tennessee college of veterinary medicine (utcvm) clinical virology lab. we previously described a new strain of cdv that significantly diverged from all genotypes reported to date including america 2, the genotype proposed to be the main lineage currently circulating in the us. the aim of this study was to determine when this new strain appeared and how widespread it is ... | 2015 | 26683832 |
| characterization of a novel canine distemper virus causing disease in wildlife. | canine distemper virus (cdv) is a common cause of a multisystemic disease in both domestic dogs and wildlife species, including raccoons and foxes. outbreaks of cdv in domestic dogs in eastern tennessee have occurred since 2012, and it was determined that these outbreaks resulted from a novel genotype of cdv. we hypothesized that this virus is also infecting area wildlife and may be a source of the virus for these outbreaks in dogs. from 2013 to 2014, autopsies were performed and tissues collect ... | 2016 | 27400957 |
