Seroprevalence of canine calicivirus and canine minute virus in the Republic of Korea

Noroviruses are recognized as emerging enteric pathogens of humans and have been identified in recent years in a number of mammalian species. The role of noroviruses as pathogens in immune-competent animals and under natural conditions remains uncertain, although both homologous and heterologous animal models are now available to investigate the pathogenesis, the immune response, and the molecular mechanism regulating norovirus infection. Recently, evidence has been gathered that noroviruses may also circulate in domestic carnivores. The zoonotic implications of these novel viruses deserve more attention, due to the strict social interactions between humans and pets.

“…The virus, strain 48, was antigenically and genetically unrelated to feline calcivirus, was tentatively proposed as a "true" canine calicivirus (CaCV), and was included in the Vesivirus genus (6). Antibodies to CaCV 48 have been detected in 57% of dogs in Japan (7) and in 36.5% of dogs in South Korea (8). In this report, we describe the detection of a novel enteric CaCV.…”

“…Serological surveys provide convincing evidence of endemic infections of dogs with CaVV. The earliest work showed that 76% of the sera (n ϭ 125) from Tennessee were positive by IFA (10) and that 57% were positive (n ϭ 244) to strain 48 by neutralization in Japan (42) and 36.5% (n ϭ 319) in South Korea (43). Most recently, antibodies to 2117-like strains have been confirmed in 21.5% of domestic dogs by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (44).…”

Four of eleven affected dogs died despite aggressive treatment during a 2015 focal outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis following a stay in a pet housing facility. Routine diagnostic investigations failed to identify a specific cause. Virus isolation from fresh necropsy tissues yielded a calicivirus with sequence homology to a vesivirus within the group colloquially known as the vesivirus 2117 strains that were originally identified as contaminants in CHO cell bioreactors. hybridization and reverse transcription-PCR assays of tissues from the four deceased dogs confirmed the presence of canine vesivirus (CaVV) nucleic acids that localized to endothelial cells of arterial and capillary blood vessels. CaVV nucleic acid corresponded to areas of necrosis and hemorrhage primarily in the intestinal tract, but also in the brain of one dog with nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis. This is the first report of an atypical disease association with a putative hypervirulent vesivirus strain in dogs, as all other known strains of CaVV appear to cause nonclinical infections or relatively mild disease. After identification of the CU-296 vesivirus strain from this outbreak, four additional CaVV strains were amplified from unrelated fecal specimens and archived stocks provided by other laboratories. Broader questions include the origins, reservoir(s), and potential for reemergence and spread of these related CaVVs.
