abstract
Canine influenza virus is a highly contagious, infectious disease agent commonly found in dogs in animal sheltering facilities. Because this is a newly emerging pathogen, all dogs are susceptible to infection and have no naturally-acquired or vaccine-induced immunity. Following outbreaks in 2005 and 2006, Northern Colorado and southern Wyoming have been identified as regions endemic for disease; however there has been only very limited surveillance of infection in these states. The purpose of this study is to survey animal shelters and breed rescues in the Rocky Mountain region in order to identify sero-prevalence of viral antibody in at-risk populations. Serum was collected and tested for antibody using an Influenza NP Antibody Inhibitor ELISA.
