Canine distemper virus (CDV) has been reported worldwide in wild carnivores and has been cited as the cause of population declines in some species. Crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous) from El Palmar National Park, Argentina, were observed either dead or exhibiting clinical neurologic signs. Samples were taken from two individuals that were laterfound tobe positive for CDV by direct immunofluorescence in brain tissue. Based on molecular studies, the CDV strain had a high percentage of identity compared to CDV strains affecting dogsin Argentina. This is the first report of CDV infection in wild carnivores in Argentina.
犬瘟热病毒（CDV）在全球范围内的野生食肉动物中均有报道，并被认为是导致一些物种数量下降的原因。在阿根廷埃尔帕尔马国家公园发现，食蟹狐（Cerdocyon thous）出现死亡或表现出临床神经症状。从两只个体身上采集了样本，后来通过脑组织直接免疫荧光检测发现它们感染了犬瘟热病毒。基于分子研究，与影响阿根廷犬类的犬瘟热病毒株相比，该病毒株具有很高的同源性。这是阿根廷野生食肉动物感染犬瘟热病毒的首次报道。
