Abstract：
Canine distemper has been observed infrequently in Belgian wildlife, mainly stone martens (Martes foina) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). This report describes an outbreak in the Brussels urban red fox population, characterized by its high density. The identified virus matched those within a cluster of viruses found previously in red foxes in Germany. Different canine distemper virus (CDV) strains, found in Belgian wild carnivores, share relationships with viruses found farther east. This and other reports indicate an endemic distribution of CDV in wild carnivores in Europe whereby the complex interplay of population density, group immunity, and infection of metapopulations determines the pattern of spatiotemporally alternating outbreaks.
摘要：
在比利时野生动物中很少观察到犬瘟热，主要是石貂（Martesfoina）和红狐狸（Vulpesvulpes）。这份报告描述了布鲁塞尔城市红狐狸种群的爆发，其特点是高密度。鉴定出的病毒与以前在德国赤狐中发现的一组病毒中的病毒相匹配。不同的犬瘟热病毒（CDV）株，在比利时野生食肉动物身上发现,与更远的东部发现的病毒共享关系。本报告和其他报告表明欧洲野生食肉动物中CDV的地方性分布，其中人口密度的复杂相互作用，团体免疫,和群体感染决定了时空交替爆发的模式。
