Genome Research, 2005 The dog has emerged as a premier species for the study of morphology, behavior, and disease. The recent availability of a high-quality draft sequence lifts the dog system to a new threshold. We provide a primer to use the dog genome by first focusing on its evolutionary history.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2011 Noroviruses are recognized as emerging enteric pathogens of humans and have been identified in recent years in a number of mammalian species. The role of noroviruses as pathogens in immune-competent animals and under natural conditions remains uncertain, although both homologous and heterologous animal models are now available to investigate the ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1993 Canine parvovirus is a truly new pathogen of dogs that emerged in the late 1970s. Initially seen as epidemic disease in all dogs, parvoviral enteritis is now primarily a disease of 1- to 6-month-old dogs. Maternal antibody interference with immunization accounts for the vast majority of vaccine "breaks." Molecular virologic methods have revealed ...
