SEROLOGIC RESPONSES AFTER VACCINATION OF FENNEC FOXES (VULPES ZERDA) AND MEERKATS (SURICATA SURICATTA) WITH A LIVE, CANARYPOX-VECTORED CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUS VACCINE

Fennec foxes (Vulpes zerda) and meerkats (Suricata suricatta) are considered to be susceptible to canine distemper virus (CDV) infection. Although no definitive clinical cases of natural CDV infections have been reported, mortalities due to CDV have been suspected and are reported in other closely r...

Zusammenfassung:	Fennec foxes (Vulpes zerda) and meerkats (Suricata suricatta) are considered to be susceptible to canine distemper virus (CDV) infection. Although no definitive clinical cases of natural CDV infections have been reported, mortalities due to CDV have been suspected and are reported in other closely related species. A commercially available monovalent, live, canarypox-vectored CDV vaccine induced neutralizing antibody titers that were maintained for at least a year in both fennec foxes and meerkats.
