Infectious canine hepatitis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in the United Kingdom
TLDR
On histopathological examination, intranuclear inclusion bodies were visible in hepatocytes, in association with hepatocyte dissociation and necrosis, as well as in renal glomeruli, renal tubular epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells.Abstract:
The pathological findings are described in three cases of infectious canine hepatitis in free-ranging red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in England. The foxes died after short periods of clinical illness. Mild jaundice and hepatic congestion were evident grossly. On histopathological examination, intranuclear inclusion bodies were visible in hepatocytes, in association with hepatocyte dissociation and necrosis, as well as in renal glomeruli, renal tubular epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells. Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1) was isolated from all three foxes. In a serological study, antibodies to CAV-1 were detected in tissue fluid extracts taken from 11 of 58 (19 per cent) frozen red fox carcases from England and Scotland.read more

TL;DR: To assess the presence of viral infection in Italian red foxes, thirty-two subjects shot during the regular hunting season were sampled and tested using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay capable of distinguishing between CAdV type 1 and type 2, and cloning of the virus detected has revealed a possible coinfection involving two different C adenovirus strains, raising new questions about the pathogenic role of CadV-2 in wildlife.

Investigation of the presence of canine adenovirus (CAdV) in owned dogs in Northern Italy.
TL;DR: Sequence analysis performed on the obtained PCR products suggests that a genetically stable CAdV-1 strain and different C adenovirus strains circulate in the canine population examined and that coinfections are relatively frequent.

TL;DR: It is concluded that CAV-1 is endemic in free-ranging red foxes in the UK and that many foxes have inapparent infections in a range of tissues.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that BtAdV 250-A represents a new mastadenovirus species that, in contrast to CAdV, has a unique capsid morphology that contains more prominent extensions of protein IX and can replicate efficiently in a phylogenetically diverse range of species.

Development of a SYBR Green real-time PCR assay with melting curve analysis for simultaneous detection and differentiation of canine adenovirus type 1 and type 2
TL;DR: In order to detect canine adenovirus in biological samples and to rapidly distinguish the two viral types, a SYBR Green real-time PCR assay was optimized to discriminate CAdV-1 and CadV-2 via a melting curve analysis and showed high sensitivity and reproducibility.

TL;DR: Muscle fluid is a useful postmortem alternative to serum when used with an ELISA to detect anti-Salmonella antibodies in an indirect LPS enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Exposure to feline and canine pathogens in bobcats and gray foxes in urban and rural zones of a national park in california
TL;DR: The results for CPV in foxes and FCV in bobcats indicated that proximity to urban areas or contact with humans can increase the risk of disease exposure for wild carnivore populations.

Survey on viral pathogens in wild red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Germany with emphasis on parvoviruses and analysis of a DNA sequence from a red fox parvovirus.
TL;DR: The DNA sequence together with a significant seroprevalence of parvovirus infections in foxes supports the hypothesis that the sudden emergence of canine parvavirus in the domestic dog population may have involved the interspecies transmission between wild and domestic carnivores.

TL;DR: Recent outbreaks of rabies and canine distemper in wildlife populations of the Serengeti show that infectious disease constitutes a significant cause of mortality that can result in regional extirpation of endangered species even within large, well‐protected areas.
