Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a member of the genus Morbillivirus and the family Paramyxoviridae [3]. CDV is known to induce immunosuppression in affected animals by disrupting both humoral and cellular immunity [3]. This often results in secondary opportunistic infections. Activated toxoplasmosis develops in dogs whose immune systems have been damaged by CDV [3]. (omitted)

We have developed the in situ hybridization(ISH) technique for rapid diagnosis of canine distemper(CD) which is the major infectious disease in dogs. In our experiment, we rapidly detected distribution of the specific canine distemper viral genome without disrupting morphology of tissues or cells. Two oligonucleotide probes for ISH were synthesized chemically and labelled 5' end with nonisotopic biotin by DNA synthesizer. The whole procedures of ISH was completed within 1~2 hours using the Microcapillary action system. On histological study, typical cytoplasmic or intranuclear inclusion bodies were observed in the trachea, bronchiole, brain, and urinary bladder with the presence of prominent red positive signals on ISH, indicating specific CDV genome from the paraffin-embedded tissues of infected 13 cases. The results showed ISH can be used as a rapid and effective diagnostic method for diagnosis of CD.

Herein, we report a case of badgers showing high morbidity and mortality rate due to the mixed infection of canine distemper virus (CDV) and Streptococcus canis (S. canis) in a farm where wild animal, badger, is being reared for herbal medicine. During the period of about one month, 120 out of 320 badgers showed severe respiratory symptoms and died, and 3 bodies were submitted to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency for disease diagnosis. The lung with the most severe necropsy findings failed to collapse and showed dark reddening and had yellowish nodules on the cut surface. The characteristic and common histopathologic findings include multifocal necrosis with hemorrhage of the lung, severe lymphoid depletion of the spleen and intracytoplasmic or intranuclear inclusion bodies in almost all organs. Finally, CDV and S. canis were identified by immunohistochemistry and bacterial isolation, respectively. This is the first mixed infection case of CDV and S. canis in badgers being raised on the farm.

This study was performed to determine the etiological agents in concurrent disorders in gastrointestinal and respiratory tract. Most of dogs had clinical signs including nasal and ocular discharge, coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea. Of the 22 dogs, seropositive rates of each virus were 54.5% (12/22) against canine distemper virus, 90.9% (20/22) against canine adenovirus 1, 36.4% (8/22) against canine adenovirus 2, 18.2% (4/22) against canine parvovirus, 81.8% (18/22) against canine hepatitis virus and 59.1% (13/22) against canine coronavirus. Canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus infection were 54.6% (12/22) in histopathological examination. In addition, mixed infections of canine distemper virus and adenovirus 2 were 9.1% (2/22). While simple infection of canine adenovirus 2 were 9.1% (2/22). E coli and Staphylococcus spp were isolated in facts as a rate of 72.7% (16/22) and 40.9% (9/22), respectively. Conclusionally, it is also estimated that environmental stress might be one of the causative factors.

Investigations of hematologic and canine distemper virus, parvovirus antibody titer for DongGyeongi were performed. This study was conducted to determine into feeding and management blood values on DongGyeongi. Blood samples were collected from 110 healthy dogs (male 60, female 50). The diagnostic virus disease and hematologic results were classified by age, sex, color. Although gender differences were not apparent, complete blood cell counts analyses were performed and analyzed accordingly. Statistically significant differences (P<0.05) specific to age (<2). Also, The canine distemper virus and parvovirus antibody titer were correlation to age dependent (P<0.05). In conclusion, data obtained from this study may be valuable as a standard for interpretation of the results in hematologic and major viral antibody titer analysis of DongGyeongi populations. For the management of DongGyeongi, the programs will be used for the epidemic disease prevention.
