Sentence examples for dog circovirus from inspiring English sources
We characterized the complete genome of a novel dog circovirus (DogCV) from the liver of a dog with severe hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, vasculitis, and granulomatous lymphadenitis.
We named this virus dog circovirus (DogCV) rather than canine circovirus to avoid confusion with the CaCV notation used for canary circovirus (12, 13 ), canine calicivirus (14, 15 ), and Capsicum chlorosis virus (16 ).
Apart from the well-documented pathogenicity of porcine circovirus in pigs, of dog circovirus in dogs, and of other circoviruses in birds, the biological significance of widespread cyclovirus, circovirus, and circovirus-like virus infections in other domesticated and wild animals remains unknown.
The detection of a circovirus in tissues of dogs expands the known tropism of these viruses to a second mammalian host.
We identified a canine circovirus in the liver of a dog that had necrotizing vasculitis and granulomatous lymphadenitis, both of which are described in PCV2-infected pigs (4 ).
Because the prevalence of circoviruses in foxes was relatively high and closely related circovirus species seem pathogenic for both dogs and foxes, additional surveillance is warranted to clarify the epidemiology and pathogenicity of circoviruses in foxes.
We identified a novel circovirus, DogCV, in the liver of a dog that had necrotizing vasculitis and granulomatous lymphadenitis.
The canine circovirus may be associated with development of vasculitis in dogs (3 ), and an overall virus prevalence in serum samples of ≈3% has been reported (3, 13 ).
To validate these observations, we amplified and sequenced the endogenous circovirus-like sequences and their flanking host sequences from dog and cat tissues.
The family Circoviridae is currently composed of 2 genera, Gyrovirus and Circovirus, each of which has been associated with diseases in birds, pigs, and dogs (1, 2 ).
