New viruses associated with canine gastroenteritis

S L Caddy. Vet J. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

A number of novel viruses have been associated with canine gastroenteritis in recent years, from viral families as diverse as Caliciviridae and Picornaviridae to Parvoviridae and Circoviridae. The ability of many of these viruses to cause disease is uncertain, but epidemiological studies are continually adding to our knowledge of these potential pathogens. This review presents a summary of the latest research and current understanding of novel viruses associated with canine gastroenteritis.

Keywords: Canine; Epidemiology; Gastroenteritis; Pathology; Virus.

Viruses associated with gastroenteritis in dogs. Viral families (listed in italics) are grouped according to their genome type, with viral species (or virus name most widely used in the literature) listed directly beneath. Viral species underlined have been proven to cause gastroenteritis in dogs by experimental studies.
