Canine influenza virus emerges in Florida
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services posted an alert
Sept. 20 on an emerging respiratory tract disease in dogs that can mimic
signs of kennel cough. The disease is more serious, however, and generally
requires the attention of a veterinarian. Known as canine influenza or
canine flu, the disease is caused by a highly contagious virus that was
recently identified by researchers at the University of Florida College of
Veterinary Medicine.
The FDACS reported that all dogs, regardless of breed or age, are
susceptible to infection and do not have naturally acquired or
vaccine-induced immunity. While most dogs that become infected experience a
milder form of influenza, some develop a more acute disease with clinical
signs of pneumonia. Among the latter group, the mortality rate is 1 to 5
percent.
Look for the University of Florida's report on canine flu in an upcoming
issue of Science magazine. Meanwhile, for a copy of the FDACS alert, log on

Newly Emerging Canine Flu."
