Genetic Characterization of Canine Adenovirus Type 1 Detected by Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction in an Oral Sample of an Italian Wolf (Canis lupus)

We report the detection of canine adenovirus type 1 DNA by real-time PCR technique in an oral sample of an Italian wolf ( Canis lupus italicus ). Genetic characterization of the virus revealed a strict relationship with viruses detected in dogs ( Canis lupus familiaris ), wolves, and red foxes ( Vul...

Description
Summary:We report the detection of canine adenovirus type 1 DNA by real-time PCR technique in an oral sample of an Italian wolf ( Canis lupus italicus ). Genetic characterization of the virus revealed a strict relationship with viruses detected in dogs ( Canis lupus familiaris ), wolves, and red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ), suggesting that transmission between wild animals and dogs had occurred.
