Ursidae,
family of
bears, has been shown to possess Canine Distemper
Virus (CDV) titers (Deem et al., 2000). There
have been few reported cases of illness in this particular
family. Many members are susceptible to CDV and clinical
infection is most commonly observed in Giant and Red
Pandas (actually from the family Ailuronidae,
however they are included here for simplicity). Signs of the
disease include; diarrhea, anorexia,
purulent oculonasal discharge, ascending paresis,
and some cases have
resulted in terminal seizures/coma (Deem et al., 2000).
