Abstract

The oral, nasal, and ocular swabs collected from 119 dogs suffering from canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) were tested for canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV), canine distemper virus (CDV), canine herpes virus (CHV), canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV) and Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb) genes using a polymerase chain reaction method. The most prominent pathogen detected in 47 dogs positive for a single pathogen was Bb, followed by CRCoV, CPIV, CDV, CAV-2 and CHV in 15, 13, 9,6, 2 and 2 dogs, respectively. Similarly, Bb, CPIV and CRCoV were more common in 16 dogs of mixed infection, and were detected in 13, 9 and 6 dogs, respectively. These results appear to suggest that Bb, CPIV and CRCoV are major pathogens for CIRD, and concomitant infection with Bb and other pathogens exacerbates the disease. In addition, CPIV, CAVh2 and CDV were apt to be detected less frequently in dogs administered pre viously with the multivalent live vaccine including those viruses, compared to those unvaccinated, indicating that the vaccination was effective for preventing infections in dogs.
