Comparison of the prevalence of enteric viruses in healthy dogs and those with acute haemorrhagic diarrhoea by electron microscopy 2007-12-18 .txt text/plain 3227 142 51 High prevalences of CPV and CCoV were detected in faecal samples of dogs with diarrhoea from animal shelters, indicating the influence of hygiene and infection pressure (Stann and others 1984 , Tennant and others 1993 , Sokolow and others 2005 . The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of enteric viruses in healthy dogs and to compare the data with prevalences in samples obtained from dogs with acute haemorrhagic diarrhoea (AHD) to gain more information about incidence and importance of enteric viruses in the dog population in Southern Germany. The prevalence of CCoV in dogs with AHD is comparable with older German studies, which examined the faecal samples from dogs with diarrhoea by EM, but so far no information is available about the prevalence of this virus in healthy dogs in Southern Germany. Although healthy dogs shedding CCoV were shown to be significantly younger than virus-negative dogs in this study, this difference in age could not be demonstrated for the patients with AHD. ./cache/cord-261955-6drue8i9.txt ./txt/cord-261955-6drue8i9.txt
