Abstract

The study aimed to analyze samples of dogs affected with canine distemper and canine parvovirus, 739 dogs were treated and underwent clinical evaluation in the Veterinary Hospital of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso. Both diagnostic were realized through the immunochromatographic tests. The results obtained showed that 93 animals were positive for canine distemper virus, with a higher prevalence in adult dogs. One hundred and fifty-five dogs were positive for parvovirus infection with a high infection rates observed among puppies. Two animals had both diseases. Prevalent clinical signs in distemper were gastrointestinal and neurological, hematological profile revealed a higher frequency of anemia. Among parvovirus infection dogs the gastrointestinal signs prevailed and among hematological findings highlighted anemia and leukopenia. The diagnostic tests based on immunochromatography tests demonstrated a fast and effective method, however clinical signs and hematological finding assist for a more trustworthy diagnosis.
