Four uncommon cases of canine distemper (CD) were diagnosed in vaccinated adult dogs. All dogs had acute onset of neurologic signs, including seizures, abnormal mentation, ataxia, and proprioceptive deficits. Polymerase chain reaction for CD virus was positive on cerebrospinal fluid in 2 cases. Due to rapid deterioration the dogs were euthanized and CD was confirmed by postmortem examination.

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.
