Canine astroviruses appear to be widespread geographically. The prevalence may be significantly higher in pups with gastroenteric disease than in asymptomatic animals and virus shedding has been shown to correlate with gastroenteric signs in naturally infected dogs. Animal experiments are required to understand better the pathogenic role of astroviruses in dogs.
犬星状病毒在地理上似乎分布广泛。患有胃肠疾病的幼犬中的患病率可能明显高于无症状动物，并且已证明病毒 shedding 与自然感染犬的胃肠症状相关。需要进行动物实验以更好地了解星状病毒在犬中的致病作用。
