PREVALENCE OF CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUS IN CANIDS IN CENTRAL ITALY AND FIRST IDENTIFICATION OF ARCTIC LINEAGE IN MARCHE AND UMBRIA REGIONS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
Canine distemper virus (CDV) is one of the most commonly virus implicated in outbreaks in wild and domestic carnivores. CDV causes severe systemic diseases which normally involves the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. To our knowledge the literature about the real incidence of such...
