Prevalence of antibodies against canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus among foxes and wolves from Spain
Viral diseases can influence the population dynamics of wild carnivores and can have effects on carnivore conservation. Hence, a serologic survey was conducted in an opportunistic sample of 137 foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and 37 wolves (Canis lupus) in Spain for 1997–2007 to detect antibodies against cani...

Viral diseases can influence the population dynamics of wild carnivores and can have effects on carnivore conservation.

Antibodies against CDV were detected in 18.7% of the analyzed animals and antibodies against CPV in 17.2%.
