A canine distemper virus (CDV) genomic cDNA clone and expression plasmids required to establish a CDV rescue system were generated from a laboratory-adapted strain of the Onderstepoort vaccine virus. In addition, a CDV minireplicon was prepared and used in transient expression studies performed to identify optimal virus rescue conditions. Results from the transient expression experiments indicated that minireplicon-encoded reporter gene activity was increased when transfected cell cultures were maintained at 32 rather than 37 degrees C, and when the cellular stress response was induced by heat shock. Applying these findings to rescue of recombinant CDV (rCDV) resulted in efficient recovery of virus after transfected HEp2 or A549 cells were co-cultured with Vero cell monolayers. Nucleotide sequence determination and analysis of restriction site polymorphisms confirmed that rescued virus was rCDV. A rCDV strain also was engineered that contained the luciferase gene inserted between the P and M genes; this virus directed high levels of luciferase expression in infected cells.

Background: Aleutian mink disease, mink viral enteritis and canine distemper are known as the three most serious diseases that cause great economic loss in the mink industry. In clinical practice, aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV), mink enteritis virus (MEV) and canine distemper virus (CDV) are common mixed infections, and they have similar clinical clinical signs, such as diarrhoea. Therefore, a rapid and accurate differential diagnosis method for use on mink ranches is essential for the control of these three pathogens.

Canine distemper (CD) is a highly infectious disease of dogs which is caused by canine distemper virus (CDV). Previous studies have demonstrated that CDV infection can induce autophagy in cells. However, the mechanism underlying CDV-induced autophagy remains not fully understood.

, commonly named Canine distemper virus (CDV), is a morbillivirus implicated in several signs in the family. In dogs (), common signs of infection include conjunctivitis, digital hyperkeratosis and neuropathologies. Even with vaccination, the canine distemper disease persists worldwide so the molecular pathways implicated in the infection processes have been an interesting and promising area in new therapeutic drugs research in recent years.

Article Synopsis
- Canine distemper virus (CDV) poses a significant threat to endangered carnivores in rural Cambodia, with domestic dogs potentially acting as a source of the virus.
- Blood samples from free-roaming dogs showed a 40% seroprevalence of CDV, marking the first documentation of the virus in crucial protected areas.
- The findings indicate a high risk of disease transmission to wildlife, necessitating further research on the impact of dogs and the potential implementation of vaccination programs for domestic dogs in these regions.

Hundreds of millions of the domestic dogs worldwide are routinely inoculated with the modified live vaccines for canine distemper virus (CDV) every year. However, the corresponding serological diagnostic and detections are always lacking, thus, there is an urgent demand to establish its unique diagnostic technologies to produce high-quality antigenic biomolecules. In the present study, the ectodomain (et) of CDV hemagglutinin (H) protein was firstly expressed in a soluble and secreted forms by an Expi293F transient transfection system based on its antigenic secondary structure analysis.
