Inducing animal viruses to adapt to chicken embryos or chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) is a common method to develop attenuated live vaccines with full security. Canine distemper virus (CDV) also does this, but the mechanisms and particular receptors remain unclear. Virus overlay protein blot assays were carried out on CEF membrane proteins, which were extracted respectively with a Mem-PER™ kit, a radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer or a modified co-immunoprecipitation method, and revealed a common 57 kDa positive band that differed from the 42-kDa positive band in Vero cells and also from those receptors reported in lymphocytes and 293 cells, indicating a receptor diversity of CDV and the possibility of the 57-kDa protein acting as a receptor that is involved in adaptive infection of CDV Kunming strain to CEF.

Canine distemper virus (CDV) can infect a wide range of mammalian carnivores and can cause severe illness and death. Domestic dogs may be an important source of this virus for endangered wild carnivores. The objective of this study was to establish the presence of CDV in rural areas of Cambodia bordering three established protected habitats, and to determine the seroprevalence of CDV in free-roaming dogs inhabiting these areas.

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.

Background And Aim: Viral gastroenteritis in canines is primarily caused by the canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2). Infections by this virus can cause severe consequences in dogs, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, septicemia, systemic inflammation, and immunosuppression. Therefore, the mortality rate of persistent infections caused by this virus is significantly high.

Article Synopsis
  • Invasive raccoons in Hokkaido, Japan, are potential carriers of the canine distemper virus, with a study analyzing 611 serum samples revealing higher infection rates in 2007, 2021, and 2022 compared to 2008-2012, indicating outbreak occurrences during those years.
  • Logistic regression showed that raccoon population density and environmental factors, like residential area ratios, were linked to seropositivity rates, particularly highlighting changes over the years from forest to residential areas.
  • Ongoing monitoring and improved raccoon control efforts are crucial to prevent disease spread to native wildlife like raccoon dogs and foxes, as well as to protect domestic dogs from health risks.

Article Synopsis
  • The giant panda, an emblem of biodiversity conservation, is threatened by the canine distemper virus (CDV), making the vaccination of domestic dogs in their habitats essential.
  • A study of 69 domestic dogs showed that vaccinated dogs can shed the virus starting nine days after vaccination, with unvaccinated dogs also at risk of increased antibody levels and viral shedding.
  • To protect giant pandas, it’s recommended that vaccinated dogs have restricted activity for at least three weeks post-vaccination, alongside collaboration among local authorities and community members for better management of domestic dog vaccinations.
