Introduction
Both Canine Adenovirus 1 and Canine Adenovirus 2 are now rare in the UK. There is some antigenicty shared between the two strains, which lends itself to vaccination.
Infection spreads rapidly between unvaccinated dogs, especially if they are in groups e.g. in kennels. Transmission is by direct and indirect contact such as food bowls and bedding (fomites) and respiratory secretions.
The virus replicates in the oropharynx then causes necrosis of the respiratory tract with NO concurrent hepatitis. Lung lesions may be worsened by presence of Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasturella multocida. It is thought that this virus may be a predisposing factor to the development of kennel cough.
Signalment
Dogs of any age, breed or sex will be equally affected by this virus if not vaccinated.
Clinical Signs
Animals present with pyrexia, mild depression, nasal/ocular discharges and a ry, harsh, persistant cough. Corneal opacity is sometimes seen.
Diagnosis
Virus can be isolated from respiratory secretions early in the disease.
Control
It is important to isolate coughing dogs and disinfect premises, in any cases of coughing as all respiratory disease is contagious.
CAV-2 is largely controlled in the UK along with CAV-1 (infectious canine hepatitis virus) through the use of vaccination against CAV-1. As the viruses cross-protect, immunity is achieved from vaccinating against CAV-1.
