Emerging and Re-emerging Viral Diseases of Small Animals

چکیده
The newest emerging viral infection of dogs is canine circovirus. It was thought to be the cause of illness and mortality in Ohio dogs in late August/early September 2013. Canine circovirus can either be the primary infection or present in the form of co-infection with other enteric pathogens. Its role as a primary pathogen still needs to be defined. In a recent paper, Linlin et al (1) documented co-infection between canine circovirus in dogs with diarrhea and canine enteric coronavirus, Cryptosporidium spp, C. perfringens α toxin, Giardia spp, Salmonella spp, Campylobacter jejuni, or Campylobacter coli. Canine circovirus was detected in the feces of approximately 11% of dogs with diarrhea, but was also detected in 14 of 204 healthy dogs. Almost 70% of the dogs that tested positive for canine circovirus were found to be co-infected with at least one additional enteric pathogen.
