Two giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) died of unknown causes in a Chinese zoo. The clinical disease profile suggested that the pandas may have suffered a viral infection. Therefore, a series of detection including virus isolation, electron microscopy, cytobiological assay, serum neutralization and RT-PCR were used to identify the virus. It was determined that the isolated virus was a canine coronavirus (CCV), on the basis of coronavirus, neutralization by canine anti-CCV serum, and 84.3% to 100% amino acid sequence similarity with CCV. The results suggest that the affected pandas had been infected with CCV.
在中国一家动物园里，两只大熊猫（大熊猫）不明原因死亡。临床疾病特征表明，这些大熊猫可能感染了病毒。因此，采用了一系列检测方法，包括病毒分离、电子显微镜检查、细胞生物学检测、血清中和试验和逆转录-聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）来鉴定病毒。根据冠状病毒、犬抗犬冠状病毒血清的中和作用以及与犬冠状病毒84.3%至100%的氨基酸序列相似性，确定分离出的病毒为犬冠状病毒（CCV）。结果表明，受影响的大熊猫感染了犬冠状病毒。
