“…(Table 4) According to chi-square test performed among blood and ocular samples, no significant difference could be detected (p>0.05), and when evaluated by percentage, ocular samples showed a higher positivity (40%) than blood samples did (24%). CDV is one of the most important diseases progressing with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in 3-6-month-old dogs (Feijoo et al 2019).…”

CDV is a highly contagious, systemic and viral infection encountered all around the world. This study aimed to investigation of the the prevalence of CDV seen in dogs in Burdur. For this purpose, ocular swab and blood samples were taken from 65 CDV pre-diagnosed dogs that were brought into Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Veterinary Faculty clinics. Real-time RT-PCR method was applied on the subject samples in order to get a laboratory diagnosis of CDV. In total, 42 of these, 16 from blood and 26 from ocular swab, were detected as positive by real-time RT-PCR. Nine of them were detected as positive both in ocular swab and blood samples. In addition, 11 of 42 samples (33 animals) detected as positive by real-time RT-PCR were already known to have been taken from dogs vaccinated against CDV previously. In the study, test results of the samples taken from diseased dogs and their relations with vaccine history were evaluated statistically as well. In the light of these results, it is recommended to use ocular swab samples as materials in diagnosing CDV and examining all animals (including those vaccinated) with clinical findings in terms of this infection so as to confine the disease.

Introducción: el virus del Distemper canino causa una enfermedad de gran letalidad en un amplio espectro de huéspedes, incluyendo animales que pertenecen al orden Carnívora, y debido a la existencia de un gran número de hospederos susceptibles, la inmunización a través de la vacunación sistemática es la única medida profiláctica eficaz para su control, aunque igualmente se han producido brotes ocasionales de la enfermedad en animales vacunados. La infección puede provocar una variedad de presentaciones clínicas, afectando los sistemas respiratorio, gastrointestinal, tegumentario y nervioso. Siendo la manifestación neurológica más común la encefalomielitis y sus signos clínicos pueden ser variados, debido al daño que el virus provoca tanto en la sustancia blanca como en la gris del sistema nervioso. Objetivo: identificar la importancia de la histopatología en el diagnóstico del Distemper Canino, conocer los principales hallazgos patológicos presentes en los pacientes con esta enfermedad de origen viral, analizar la importancia de un buen diagnóstico en el Distemper canino. Metodología: revisión bibliográfica de literatura. Resultados: se evidencio neurodegeneración en caninos infectados naturalmente, tanto en animales vacunados como en no vacunados, evaluando presencia, intensidad y distribución de las lesiones causadas por el virus en cerebro y cerebelo. Conclusiones: con respecto a las lesiones histopatológicas, el hallazgo constante es la desmielinización, además de la presencia de gliosis, leptomeningitis, manguitos perivasculares, necrosis y cuerpos de inclusión en varios cortes histológicos, siendo estos hallazgos más severos en el cerebelo; es así como este trabajo evidencia la importancia de la Histopatología en el diagnóstico del Distemper canino o Moquillo. Área de estudio general: Medicina Veterinaria. Área de estudio específica: Microbiología / Anatomía Patológica.
