  • Title: [The prevention of distemper in zoo animals].

    Journal: Berl Munch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1989 Feb 01; 102(2):56-8. PubMed ID: 2930451.
    Abstract:
    The distemper virus infection of different non-domestic carnivorous zoo animals is known since long. All species involved belonged to the suborder Fissipedia. In 1988 a distemper or morbillivirus-like infection occurred in harbour seals, a member of the suborder pinnipedia. For the prophylaxis of distemper in dogs attenuated live vaccines are commonly used. In zoo animals, however, these vaccines caused distemper several times. In contrast, an inactivated virus vaccine proved both its safety and efficacy in more than hundred zoo animals of various species.
