First identification of canine distemper virus in hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus): pathologic aspects and virus phylogeny.
Canine distemper virus (CDV) has been reported in several wild animal species, but there have been no reports of CDV in hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus). This paper characterizes the first case of natural CDV infection in hoary fox, including the clinical and pathologic aspects of the disease as well as the viral strain phylogeny.
