[[Canine Distemper Virus]]

===Canine distemper===
  −
 
  −
*Caused by a [[Paramyxoviridae#Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)|morbillivirus]]
  −
*[[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis|Rhinitis]]
  −
*Although many organs can be affected by CDV, a relatively constant feature is the respiratory signs which occur in varying severity
  −
*A syndrome of catharral oculonasal discharge, [[Nasopharynx Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of pharyngitis|pharyngitis]] and [[Bronchi and Bronchioles Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of bronchitis or bronchiolitis|bronchitis]] is relatively common in the initial stages
  −
*Since one of the primary sites of action of this virus is lymphoid tissue, the resultant immunosuppression -> predisposition to secondary bacterial infection
  −
*May cause [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Interstitial pneumonia|interstitial pneumonia]] where [[Degenerations and Infiltrations - Pathology#Cellular Inclusions|inclusions]] are found within alveolar macrophages
  −
*Gross pathology:
  −
**Oedematous lungs, diffuse interstitial pneumonia
  −
*Micro pathology:
  −
**Necrosis of pneumocytes, necrotising bronchiolitis, alveolar oedema, thickening of alveolar walls and type II pneumocyte hyperplasia
