A survey of free-ranging jackals (Canis adustus and Canis mesomelas) in Zimbabwe was conducted to determine the prevalence of serum antibodies to canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1). Sera from 16 Canis adustus and 22 Canis mesomelas were collected from 1990 to 1993 from various regions of Zimbabwe and assayed by means of immunofluorescent techniques. Seroprevalence in C. adustus and C. mesomelas respectively were 50% and 63.6% for CDV, 12.5% and 18.2% for CPV and 37.5 and 9.1 for CAV-1. These results demonstrate that jackals are infected with these viruses and may act as reservoirs of them, although their susceptibility to the viruses is not known.
为了确定犬瘟热病毒(CDV)、犬细小病毒(CPV)和犬腺病毒1型(CAV-1)血清抗体的流行情况,对津巴布韦的野生胡狼(黑背胡狼和侧纹胡狼)进行了一项调查。1990年至1993年期间,从津巴布韦不同地区采集了16只黑背胡狼和22只侧纹胡狼的血清,并采用免疫荧光技术进行检测。黑背胡狼和侧纹胡狼中,CDV的血清阳性率分别为50%和63.6%,CPV分别为12.5%和18.2%,CAV-1分别为37.5%和9.1%。这些结果表明胡狼感染了这些病毒,可能是这些病毒的宿主,尽管它们对这些病毒的易感性尚不清楚。
