Abstract

Canine coronavirus (CCV) is a cause of sporadic outbreaks of enteritis in dogs. This study was performed to carry out epidemiological investigation on the recent outbreaks of CCV enteritis of dogs and determined the potential prognostic factors affecting the survival of dogs. The 131 (34.4%) out of 381 fecal samples collected from dogs with enteritis were positive for CCV by RT-PCR. The fecal samples contained genotype I (30.5%), genotype II (29.0%), and both genotypes (40.5%) of CCV. The majority of dogs with CCV infection ranged 6-18 weeks of age. Age over 18 weeks was significantly associated with higher survival rate (P < 0.05). Of the clinical signs examined, dogs without anorexia were significantly higher survival rate (P < 0.01). The 90.1% of dogs with CCV infection were co-infected by CCV and CPV-2. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that CCV infection is widespread in the Korean dog population and CCV may be attributed to be one of the important agents causing enteritis in pups.

본 연구는 최근 국내에서 발생하는 CCV 장염의 역학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여, 2003년 6월부터 2007년 9월까지 전국의 10개 지역 동물병원에서 설사증상을 보이는 381두의 분변 시료를 채취하였으며, 이중 358두는 혈청학적 검사를 위하여 혈청 시료를 채취하였다. 또한 CCV 장염의 발생에 대한 역학적 조사와 CCV 장염에 이환된 환자의 생존에 영향을 미치는 역학적 요인들에 대하여 조사하였다. 설사증상을 보이는 총 381두중 131두(34.4%)가 CCV 장염으로 확진되었으며, 그 중 30.5%의 변에서는 genotype I이 검출되었고 29.0%에서는 genotype II가 검출되었으며 40.5%에서는 genotype I과 II가 혼합 감염되어 있었다. CCV 장염은 6-18주령의 예방접종을 실시하지 않았거나 불완전하게 실시한 개체에서 주로 발생하였다. 주요 임상증상으로 설사, 구토와 식욕 결핍 증상이 대부분의 환축에서 나타났다. CCV에 이환된 환자 중 나이가 많거나 예방접종을 완료했을 경우 생존율이 높았으며(P < 0.05) 식욕 결핍이 없는 개체일수록 생존율이 높게 나타났다(P < 0.01). CCV 장염에 이환된 환자의 대부분은 개 파보바이러스(CPV-2)와 혼합감염되었으나 이로 인한 생존율에서 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 국내에서 CCV의 감염은 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, CCV 장염은 어린 개체에서 설사를 일으키는 중요한 요인 중의 하나로 확인되었으므로 CCV 감염된 집단으로부터 감수성 있는 개체를 분리하고 CCV에 대한 예방접종을 실시할 필요성이 제기되고 있다.
