Abstract
Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a member of the genus Morbillivirus and the family Paramyxoviridae [3]. CDV is known to induce immunosuppression in affected animals by disrupting both humoral and cellular immunity [3]. This often results in secondary opportunistic infections. Activated toxoplasmosis develops in dogs whose immune systems have been damaged by CDV [3]. (omitted)
