Abstract
Canine Distemper (CD) is a severe life threatening disease with
a worldwide distribution caused by a Morbillivirus of the family
Paramyxoviridae similar to the human Measles virus, transmitted
between susceptible hosts and the dog still remains the most
important reservoir for the infection (Leisewitz et al., 2001). The
disease affects mainly domestic dogs but has become a serious
problem in a wide range of hosts, threatening captive and freeranging
wildlife populations including several marine mammals
such as seals, dolphins and whales (Visser et al., 1993). Dogs
show signs of severe tooth enamel damage or enamel hypoplasia
during the course of the disease particularly in young puppies
whose teeth have not fully developed.
