Canine coronavirus (CCoV) is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which is a member of the species Alphacoronavirus 1. It causes a highly contagious intestinal disease worldwide in dogs. [2] The infecting virus enters its host cell by binding to the APN receptor. [3]
Suspected causes include abnormal responses to bacteria or bacterial endotoxin, or a hypersensitivity to food. [2] Pathologically there is an increase in the permeability of the intestinal lining and a leakage of blood and proteins into the bowel. Clostridium perfringens has been found in large numbers in the intestines of many affected dogs. [1]
Giardiasis* is an intestinal infection in dogs caused by the protozoa Giardia lamblia. The most common symptom is diarrhea. The zoonotic potential of giardiasis is controversial. [25] [26] Coccidiosis can be caused by a variety of coccidian organisms in dogs, most commonly Isospora. There are usually no symptoms, but diarrhea and weight loss ...
Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they can test positive for low levels of the pathogen.
Along with age and breed, factors such as a stressful environment, concurrent infections with bacteria, parasites, and canine coronavirus increase a dog's risk of severe infection. [3] Dogs infected with parvovirus usually die from the dehydration it causes or secondary infection rather than the virus itself. The variants of CPV-2 are defined ...
These examples are not considered infectious diseases because they do not satisfy Koch's postulates – for example Staphylococcus intermedius, a commonly isolated bacteria from skin infections in dogs, would not cause pyoderma when introduced to a healthy dog. In all likelihood that type of bacteria is already present on the skin of a healthy dog.
"Dogs with health complaints such as digestive/malabsorption issues, parasites, Diabetes mellitus, or Cushing's disease may have an increased appetite due to the effects of their condition ...
Thaiwong et al. [6] submitted a publication in 2016 on a dual infection incident of CaCV and canine parvovirus in a breeding colony of dogs. Two disease outbreaks occurred in Michigan in 2013 and 2014 in which a group of related Papillon dogs became ill and some died shortly (within 1 week) after symptoms began to show.
