Abstract

No evidence of exposure to canine distemper virus (CDV) was detected in 70 samples corresponding to 58 wild-trapped Darwin's foxes (Lycalopex fulvipes) in Chile. Given its current endangered status and it being immunologically naïve, in the event of a CDV spillover from dogs to foxes, high population mortality is expected.
