Abstract

Canine distemper is an infectious viral disease that affects dogs and other aninals in most countries. The real infectious rate in most cities is variable or unkenown. An epidemiological survey realized in Maringá-PR, between 1998 to 2001, using cases diagnosed in veterinary clinics, demonstrated that 2,07% (89/4726) of all dogs presented for consultation were distemper-positive. racial or sexual predominance were not observed; most cases were diagnosed during the colder months. These data suggests that the infectious rate in Maringá-PR, is relatively low, that the sex is not related to infection, and that infection by canine distemper virus is more frequent during winter.
