| new and emerging pathogens in canine infectious respiratory disease. | canine infectious respiratory disease is a common, worldwide disease syndrome of multifactorial etiology. this review presents a summary of 6 viruses (canine respiratory coronavirus, canine pneumovirus, canine influenza virus, pantropic canine coronavirus, canine bocavirus, and canine hepacivirus) and 2 bacteria (streptococcus zooepidemicus and mycoplasma cynos) that have been associated with respiratory disease in dogs. for some pathogens a causal role is clear, whereas for others, ongoing rese ... | 2014 | 24232191 |
| common and emerging infectious diseases in the animal shelter. | the beneficial role that animal shelters play is unquestionable. an estimated 3 to 4 million animals are cared for or placed in homes each year, and most shelters promote public health and support responsible pet ownership. it is, nonetheless, inevitable that shelters are prime examples of anthropogenic biological instability: even well-run shelters often house transient, displaced, and mixed populations of animals. many of these animals have received minimal to no prior health care, and some ha ... | 2014 | 24265288 |
| [genomic characteristics of bocavirus and molecular mechanism of its pathogenicity--a review]. | bocavirus was considered as a member of the subfamily parvoviriae of the family parvoviridae, which includes bovine bocavirus, minute virus of canines, human bocavirus, as well as the newly identified swine bocavirus, gorilla bocavirus, feline bocavirus, canine bocavirus and bocavirus identified in california sea lion sample. at present, as an emerging pathogen, bocavirus members attract great attention by researchers worldwide. we reviewed published papers in combination with our study for seve ... | 2013 | 23957145 |
| a novel bocavirus in canine liver. | bocaviruses are classified as a genus within the parvoviridae family of single-stranded dna viruses and are pathogenic in some mammalian species. two species have been previously reported in dogs, minute virus of canines (mvc), associated with neonatal diseases and fertility disorders; and canine bocavirus (cbov), associated with respiratory disease. | 2013 | 23402347 |
| identification and characterization of bocaviruses in cats and dogs reveals a novel feline bocavirus and a novel genetic group of canine bocavirus. | we report the identification and genome characterization of a novel bocavirus, feline bocavirus (fbov), and novel bocaviruses closely related to canine bocavirus (cbov) strain con-161 in stray cats and dogs in hong kong, respectively. fbov was detected by pcr in 7.2, 0.3, 1.6, 2.0 and 0.8% of faecal, nasal, urine, kidney and blood samples, respectively, from 364 cats, while cbov was detected in 4.6, 5.1, 6.3 and 0.3% of faecal, nasal, urine and blood samples, respectively, from 351 dogs. three f ... | 2012 | 22495233 |
