Screening and controlling canine inherited ocular diseases in Finland: epidemiological, economical and health promotional aspect

Abstract: Official eye examination records of 18 146 dogs in 17 breeds were analyzed in order to evaluate the Finnish Kennel Club's eye examination scheme. The most common inherited ocular diseases were the Collie eye anomaly (CEA) in the Rough Collie and the persistent hyperplastic tunica vasculosa lentis (PHTVL) in the Doberman. In both diseases the prevalence has also increased during the study period 1988-1997. The most likely reason for the increase is the change in examination routines that now makes it easier to … Show more

“…The difference in CRD and coloboma prevalences between the pooled data of 1989 to 1990 and those of 1996 to 1997 is not influenced by differences in age at examination, as all animals were examined at five to 10 weeks of age during the period from 1983 to 1997. Similar changes of prevalence for CRD and coloboma over time have been reported from Finland (Leppanen and Saloniemi 1998).…”

“…The prevalence of coloboma neither increased nor decreased difference in CRD and coloboma prevalences between the pooled data of 1989 to 1990 and those of 1996 to 1997 is not influenced by differences in age at examination, as all animals were examined at five to 10 weeks of age during the period from 1983 to 1997. Similar changes of prevalence for CRD and coloboma over time have been reported from Finland (Leppanen and Saloniemi 1998). It is difficult to explain the differential change in the prevalence of C R D and coloboma under the hypothesis of simple (monogenic), autosomal, recessive inheritance of CEA. Another factor which appears to refute a hypothesis of simple recessive inheritance is the variation between countries in the prevalence of coloboma expressed as a percentage of all animals with CEA (Table l ) , as pointed out by Bjerkis (1991).…”

“…A Finnish study compared affected dogs pooled into two groups (dogs born in1988 -1991 and dogs born in 1994 -1997). The authors (Leppanen and Saloniemi, 1998) detected a signifi cant increase in CEA prevalence. During our study period, no signifi cant changes in the incidence of CEA were observed but it seems to have increased from 31.58 % in Rough Collie (Kellner, 1985) to 40.1 % in the current study, although strict breeding regulations were always in effect.…”

“…The distribution of CEA obtained from those surveys varied across affected breeds. Regarding the large-scale studies in Rough and Smooth Collies, the overall prevalence of affected dogs was approximately 30.95%-40.6% in Finland [15], Switzerland [16], Norway [17], and the Netherlands [18]. In addition, a high prevalence of about 64% and 75.5% was observed in the UK [5] and Denmark [19], respectively.…”
