Canine distemper has been observed infrequently in Belgian wildlife, mainly stone martens (Martes foina) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). This report describes an outbreak in the Brussels urban red fox population, characterized by its high density. The identified virus matched those within a cluster of viruses found previously in red foxes in Germany. Different canine distemper virus (CDV) strains, found in Belgian wild carnivores, share relationships with viruses found farther east. This and other reports indicate an endemic distribution of CDV in wild carnivores in Europe whereby the complex interplay of population density, group immunity, and infection of metapopulations determines the pattern of spatiotemporally alternating outbreaks.
犬瘟热在比利时野生动物中很少见，主要见于石貂（Martes foina）和红狐（Vulpes vulpes）。本报告描述了布鲁塞尔城市红狐种群中的一次暴发，其特征为密度高。所鉴定的病毒与先前在德国红狐中发现的病毒群中的病毒相匹配。在比利时野生食肉动物中发现的不同犬瘟热病毒（CDV）株与更远东地区发现的病毒存在关系。这和其他报告表明 CDV 在欧洲野生食肉动物中存在地方性分布，种群密度、群体免疫力和种群感染的复杂相互作用决定了时空交替暴发的模式。
