Carnivore Protoparvovirus 1 at the Wild–Domestic Carnivore Interface in Northwestern Mexico [PDF]

EcoHealth, 2019
Eighty-three wild and domestic carnivores of nine species from Janos Biosphere Reserve (JBR), Mexico, were tested by serologic and molecular assays to determine exposure and infection rates of carnivore protoparvovirus 1. Overall, 50.8% (33/65) of the wild carnivores and 100% (18/18) of the domestic dogs tested were seropositive for Canine ...
