Both [[Canine Adenovirus 1]] and Canine Adenovirus 2 are of the [[Adenoviridae|Adenoviridae]] and 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 ''[[Pasteurella multocida]]''. It is thought that this virus may be a predisposing factor to the development of [[Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis|kennel cough]].

CAV-2 is largely controlled in the UK along with [[Canine Adenovirus 1|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.

 This article is still under construction.


Antigenicity

  • Some antigenicity shared between CAV 1 and 2, which lends to vaccination

Pathogenesis

  • Causes necrosis of the respiratory tract with NO concurrent hepatitis
  • Animals present with:
    • Pyrexia
    • Mild depression
    • Nasal/ocular discharges
    • Corneal opacity (not always)
    • Dry, harsh, persistent cough

Epidemiology

  • Transfer is same as for CAV 1

Diagnosis

  • Virus isolation from respiratory secretions

Control

  • Isolate coughing dogs and disinfect premises
  • Vaccination: CAV 1 vaccine will cross protect
