Canine influenza, as a recognized clinical entity in dogs, has a relatively brief history. The presence of specific subtypes of influenza virus capable of being transmitted from dog to dog is at present geographically limited to the United States and Korea. As surveillance intensifies to meet the concerns of the human population on pandemic influenza viruses, more cases of influenza virus in dogs are certain to be detected. Each infection offers an opportunity for a unique variant to emerge and continue the evolution of influenza virus as a species-crossing pathogen.
犬流感作为犬类中一种已被认可的临床病症，其历史相对较短。目前，能够在犬类之间传播的特定流感病毒亚型在地理上仅限于美国和韩国。随着监测力度的加大以满足人类对大流行性流感病毒的担忧，肯定会检测到更多犬类感染流感病毒的病例。每次感染都为独特变体的出现提供了机会，并使流感病毒作为一种跨物种病原体继续进化。
