Video_2_Case report: Canine distemper virus infection as a cause of central nervous system disease in a Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx).MP4
The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) represents an endangered species with only small populations remaining in Central Europe. Knowledge about the threat posed by potential infectious agents to these animals is crucial for informing ongoing protection measures. Canine distemper virus (CDV) is known to have...
