“…Most studies have focused on the prevalence of CDV among rural dogs in Iran (Avizeh et al, 2007;Namroodi et al, 2015;Sarchahi & Arbabi, 2022;Tavakoli Zaniani et al, 2021). Unfortunately, little epidemiological research has been conducted on the CDV lineages in Iran.…”

Background: Canine distemper (CD) is the dogs’ most contagious and lethal viral disease. Despite the widespread use of vaccines to control CD, the prevalence of the CD virus (CDV) has increased at an alarming rate in recent years. Objectives: To identify the genotypes responsible for the neurological and non-neurological clinical forms of CD and to investigate the presence of the virus in the neurological and non-neurological forms of the disease. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, the samples were collected from 70 CD suspected unvaccinated dogs with clinical signs of distemper. All cases were tested with rapid tests and separated into 3 groups based on clinical signs and symptoms. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), respiratory secretion, and fecal samples of allall 70 cases were examined for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). After sequencing the hemagglutinin gene (H gene), phylogenetic analysis of the gene isolated from CDVs was carried out using MEGA software, version 7. Results: The RT-PCR results showed that the respiratory secretion sample in the non-neurological CDV group (85%) and the neurological CDV group (80%) had the highest level of virus contamination. However, in the non-neurological CDV group, the CSF sample (40%) had a high level of infection. In neurotic groups, cases older than 12 months showed the highest percentage of distemper contamination, and in the non-neurologic CDV group, those between 3 and 6 months were more involved. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the H gene revealed the CDV as a member of the endemic Arctic-like genetic lineage. Conclusion: The genotypic examination of the hemagglutinin gene of the distemper virus reveals that the recent isolates of neurologic and non-neurologic clinical forms of CDV in Iran are similar. In positive rapid test cases, the PCR test of respiratory secretions for virus detection ranks with the highest sensitivity. In neurologic cases with negative rapid test results, PCR of CSF had the highest sensitivity, so it may serve as a diagnostic criterion.

A 6‐month‐old free‐living female striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran with lethargy and seizures. The general and neurological examinations revealed normal heart rate, polypnoea, abnormal respiratory sounds, decreased consciousness and no postural reactions in limbs. The animal had generalised seizures every 20 minutes, lasting about 1 minute. To control seizures, 10 mg diazepam (0.7 mg/kg) was injected intravenously four times every 2 minutes. With this treatment, the animal's seizures stopped. Based on characteristic clinical signs, lymphopaenia, and positive rapid kit and RT‐PCR results, canine distemper virus (CDV) was confirmed. The animal developed general seizures again 12 hours after referral and died during the seizures. This is the first case report of status epilepticus due to CDV in a striped hyena that did not respond to anticonvulsant therapies and caused the death of the animal.
