Summary:Data on canine circovirus circulation among red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) are limited. We report the detection of canine circovirus in a red fox from Italy. The virus was closely related to strains from dogs ( Canis lupus familiaris ) rather than those from foxes, suggesting a possible transmission between the two species.
