Canine distemper is a highly contagious disease of domestic dogs that also infects multiple wildlife hosts, some that serve as secondary or amplifying reservoirs of the virus. Because canine distemper is an RNA virus, a potential for emergence of antigenic variants exists, particularly in situations where wildlife that are infected with a strain of CDV that has adapted to that host spills back to domestic dogs. Introduction of novel canine distemper viruses in improperly vaccinated dog populations with insufficient immunity can cause new outbreaks of CDV.	./cache/cord-258783-ev0h95b9.txt	./txt/cord-258783-ev0h95b9.txt
