SURVEY FOR ANTIBODIES TO CANINE VIRUSES IN SELECTED WILD MAMMALS
1 From the Department of Veterinary Microbiology. Division of Veterinary Medicine, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington, D.C. 20012, U.S.A.
Sera derived from skunks, raccoons, opossums and woodchucks trapped in Maryland were examined for neutralizing antibodies to infectious canine hepatitis, canine distemper, canine herpes, and parainfluenza SV-5 viruses. Neutralizing antibodies to infectious canine hepatitis, previously found in skunks in the area, were demonstrated in 6 of 50 raccoons. Sera from 2 of 25 skunks and 21 of 25 raccoons had canine distemper neutralizing antibodies. Infectious canine hepatitis and canine distemper antibodies were not demonstrable in sera of 25 opossums and 9 woodchucks. No neutralizing antibody to canine herpes or SV-5 virus were found in any of the sera tested.
