Also known as: CAV-1 — Infectious Canine Hepatitis Virus — ICH virus

Introduction

Canine Adenovirus 1 (CAV-1) was first isolated by Carbasso in 1954¹ from a case of acute hepatitis in the dog. This virus found to be identical to the virus isolated in 1947 by Rubarth² from a dog showing acute liver lesions, and so CAV-1 was originally known as Infectious Canine Hepatitis (ICH) virus. Subsequently, CAV1 infection was shown to be common in young dogs worldwide, with 82% of British dogs displaying neutralising antibody titres by nine months of age³. It has also since been demonstrated that CAV1 has a role in diseases other than Infectious Canine Hepatitis, such as Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis.

CAV-1 is a Mastadenovirus, member of the Adenoviridae family.

Hosts

Canine adenovirus 1 infection is most common in young dogs, but is becoming less so with the implementation of vaccination strategies. Wild and captive foxes may contract the virus leading to fox encephalitis, and wolves, coyotes and bears can also become clinically infected. Subclinical infections can arise in other carnivores.

Transmission

CAV-1 infection occurs by inhalation and ingestion of the virus after shedding in the urine, faeces or respiratory secretions. Transmission may be by direct contact, or by indirect contact such as via handlers or infected surfaces. Following infection, the virus initially replicates in the tonsils and Peyer's patches. A viraemia is produced, and CAV-1 secondarily localises and replicates in the liver and kidneys.

Canine adenovirus 1 is resistant to environmental inactivation, and can survive for days on fomites at room temperature. Inactivation requires the use of phenol, sodium hydroxide or iodine based disinfectants, or steam cleaning.

Disease

Although there is evidence for a high incidence of infection among the non-vaccinated canine population, this is not matched by a similar occurrence of clinically detectable infectious hepatitis since many infections are subclinical. In additions to Infectious Canine Hepatitis, CAV-1 has been shown to be involved in several other types of disease. These include encephalopathy ⁴, ocular lesions, neonatal disease⁵, chronic hepatitis⁶, and interstitial nephritis⁷. The virus can be isolated from throat swabs or lungs from some dogs with respiratory disease, and CAV-1 is known to be of importance in Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis.

Pathology

Subclinical infection with canine adenovirus 1 most typically causes a mild bronchointerstitial pneumonia, although a necrotising bronchiolitis may occur in immunocompromised dogs. Bronchointerstitial pneumonia is seen histologically as necrosis of the bronchiolar and alveolar epithelium, pulmonary oedema and hyperplasia of type II pneumocytes.

In Infectious Canine Hepatitis, canine adenovirus 1 principally causes damage to the endothelium and to hepatic cells. Endothelial damage results in widespread petechial haemorrhages, and hepatic damage may be visualised as an enlarged liver, mottled with areas of necrosis. Microscopically, centrolobular necrosis is seen in the liver, and adenoviral nuclear inclusion bodies may be observed in Kupffer and parenchymal cells. Glomerulonephritis and occular pathology are not uncommon findings.

The pathology exhibited in Infectious Canine Tracheobronchitis varies with the other contributing organisms and the severity of disease.

 ==Introduction==
+Canine Adenovirus 1 (CAV-1) was first isolated by Carbasso in 1954<sup>1</sup> from a case of acute hepatitis in the dog. This virus found to be identical to the virus isolated in 1947 by Rubarth<sup>2</sup> from a dog showing acute liver lesions, and so CAV-1 was originally known as Infectious Canine Hepatitis (ICH) virus. Subsequently, CAV1 infection was shown to be common in young dogs worldwide, with 82% of British dogs displaying neutralising antibody titres by nine months of age<sup>3</sup>. It has also since been demonstrated that CAV1 has a role in diseases other than [[Infectious Canine Hepatitis]], such as [[Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis]].
-CAV1 was first isolated by Carbasso in 1954 in from a dog suffering from acute hepatitis and was identical to the virus isolated by Rubarth in 1947. For that reason, CAV1 was originally known as ICH (infectious canine hepatitis) virus. Infection was subsequently shown to be a common occurence in young dogs across the world. In Britain, 82% of dogs were found to have neutralising antibody titres by the time they were 9 months old (Ablett and Baker, 1960). This high incidence of infection is not matched by a similar incidence of clinical hepatitis, and it si now known that many infections are subclinical and that the virus is also responsible for other conditions, e.g. encephalopathy, ocular disease, neonatal disease, chronic hepatitis, and interstitial nephritis. In several countries, the virus has been isolated from throat swabs or lungs from dogs with respiratory disease, and in Britain CAV-1 is thought to be of importane in kennel cough (infectious tracheobronchitis).
+CAV-1 is a Mastadenovirus, member of the [[Adenoviridae - Overview|Adenoviridae]] family.
+==Hosts==
+Canine adenovirus 1 infection is most common in young dogs, but is becoming less so with the implementation of vaccination strategies. Wild and captive foxes may contract the virus leading to fox encephalitis, and wolves, coyotes and bears can also become clinically infected. Subclinical infections can arise in other carnivores.
+==Transmission==
+CAV-1 infection occurs by inhalation and ingestion of the virus after shedding in the urine, faeces or respiratory secretions. Transmission may be by direct contact, or by indirect contact such as via handlers or infected surfaces. Following infection, the virus initially replicates in the tonsils and Peyer's patches. A viraemia is produced, and CAV-1 secondarily localises and replicates in the liver and kidneys.
-Causes [[Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis]]
+Canine adenovirus 1 is resistant to environmental inactivation, and can survive for days on fomites at room temperature. Inactivation requires the use of phenol, sodium hydroxide or iodine based disinfectants, or steam cleaning.
-CH is caused by a nonenveloped DNA virus, canine  adenovirus 1 (CAV-1),  which is antigenically related only to CAV-2 (one  of the causes of  infectious canine tracheobronchitis,                   Infectious  Tracheobronchitis of Dogs). CAV-1 is  resistant to lipid solvents and  survives outside the host for weeks or  months, but a 1-3% solution of  sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) is  an effective disinfectant.
+==Disease==
-==Classification==
-Canine adenovirus 1 (CAV1) is a member of the Adenoviridae family. The  Adenoviridae are a family of double-stranded DNA viruses which have an  icosahedral nucleocapsid and have been isolated from many mammals and  birds. However, only a small number of Adenoviridae cause significant  veterinary disease, one of these being canine adenovirus 1.
+Although there is evidence for a high incidence of infection among the non-vaccinated canine population, this is not matched by a similar occurrence of clinically detectable infectious hepatitis since many infections are subclinical. In additions to [[Infectious Canine Hepatitis]], CAV-1 has been shown to be involved in several other types of disease. These include encephalopathy <sup>4</sup>, ocular lesions, neonatal disease<sup>5</sup>, chronic hepatitis<sup>6</sup>, and interstitial nephritis<sup>7</sup>. The virus can be isolated from throat swabs or lungs from some dogs with respiratory disease, and CAV-1 is known to be of importance in [[Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis]].
-Classification
-This family originally  consisted of only two genera, Mastadenovirus, which infect mammals, and  Aviadenovirus, which infect birds. There are also several as yet  unassigned and recently assigned viruses in the family.
-Mastadenovirus
-This  genus consists of 20 virus species that infect mammals including   canine, equine, bovine, ovine and porcine adenoviruses. All 20 species   share a common antigen. Important diseases are infectious canine   hepatitis, canine adenovirus 2 infection, and equine adenovirus A   infection.
-Aviadenovirus
-This genus  includes the viruses of inclusion body hepatitis, quail  bronchitis,  marble spleen disease and a number of adenoviruses of  poultry and birds  that are not associated with significant diseases.  Members of the  genus share a common antigen.
-Previously Unassigned Adenoviruses
-Included  in this category are the viruses that have recently (2002) been placed  in the genera Atadenovirus and Siadenovirus. These viruses include the  egg drop syndrome virus (Atadenovirus), turkey hemorrhagic enteritis  (Siadenovirus), adenoviral splenomegaly of chickens (Atadenovirus) and  ovine adenovirus 287 (Atadenovirus; of research interest, but of no  disease significance) and some bovine adenovirus types 4 to 8  (Atadenovirus).
-MastadenovirusInfectious Canine HepatitisCause
-Canine adenovirus 1. The DNA sequence of this virus has been determined.
-==Viral Characteristics==
-Non-enveloped, viruses with icosahedral symmetry containing a single, linear molecule of double-stranded DNA.
-The  capsid consists of capsomeres (called hexons) and 12 vertex capsomeres  (called pentons). These are the only viruses with a fiber (the fiber  antigen) protruding from each of the 12 pentons (see Fig. 13-1).
+==Pathology==
-The fiber is the structure of attachment to host cells and is also a type specific hemagglutinin.
+Subclinical infection with canine adenovirus 1 most typically causes a mild bronchointerstitial pneumonia, although a necrotising bronchiolitis  may occur in immunocompromised dogs. Bronchointerstitial pneumonia is seen histologically as necrosis of the bronchiolar and alveolar epithelium, pulmonary oedema and hyperplasia of type II pneumocytes.
-The hexon of mammalian adenoviruses contains a cross-reacting group antigen.
-The fiber antigen attaches to a specific cell receptor and initiates replication.
-The  dsDNA encodes approximately 30 proteins. Viral DNA replication,  mRNA  transcription and virion assembly occur in the nucleus, utilizing  both  host and virus-encoded factors. This results in the formation of   basophilic and / or acidophilic intranuclear inclusions.
-Many  adenoviruses agglutinate red cells of various animal species  and some  are capable of malignant transformation in tissue culture cell  and  oncogenesis when inoculated into laboratory animals.
-They are resistant to trypsin and lipid solvents, and moderately resistant on premises.

Endothelial damage results in widespread petechial haemorrhages, and hepatic damage may be visualised as an enlarged liver, mottled with areas of necrosis. Microscopically, centrolobular necrosis is seen in the liver, and adenoviral nuclear inclusion  bodies may be observed in Kupffer and parenchymal cells.

-Occurrence
+The pathology exhibited in [[Infectious Canine Tracheobronchitis]] varies with the other contributing organisms and the severity of disease.
-Dogs  younger than one year of age are most often affected. The virus  also  infects wild and captive foxes causing encephalitis, and wolves,   coyotes and bears. Other carnivores may sustain subclinical infections.  The disease occurs commonly worldwide, but is uncommon where vaccination   is practiced.

-The principal tissue changes involve the endothelium and hepatic cells.  Damaged endothelium results in widespread petechial hemorrhages. The  liver may be enlarged or normal in size, but usually is mottled because  of focal areas of necrosis.
-Microscopically, the most significant changes are found in the liver,  where centrolobular necrosis is noted and typical adenoviral inclusion  bodies are observed in Kupffer cells and parenchymal cells.
-Circulating immune complexes in the glomeruli may result in  glomerulonephritis. Recovered dogs may develop a transient corneal  opacity ("blue eye") as a result of local immune complex deposition.
-Recovery from infectious canine hepatitis (ICH) results in lasting immunity.
-Diagnosis
-Clinical specimens: liver, spleen, kidney, blood, urine, nasal swabs and paired serum samples.
-Diagnosis of ICH is usually made on the basis of clinical signs and  gross and microscopic lesions including the presence of basophilic  inclusions in hepatocytes, endothelial cells, and Kupffer cells.
-The virus can be demonstrated in frozen liver sections by immunofluorescence.
-The virus can be cultivated in cell cultures of canine origin. The  liver has been reported to be less suitable for virus recovery than  other vital organs.
-A rising titer of antibodies employing hemagglutination inhibition or virus neutralization are supportive of a diagnosis.
-Prevention
-Modified live and killed vaccines  are used, often in combination with parvovirus and canine distemper  antigens. Modified live vaccines induce a longer lasting immunity, but a  small percentage of vaccinated dogs may develop ocular or renal  lesions.
-These core canine vaccines were traditionally administered annually but are now, depending on the type of vaccine, often given less frequently.
