Distemper virus research sheds light on spread of disease in seals and otters B Y: C A R O L B O R C H E R T

Most dog owners are familiar with canine distemper, a highly contagious and serious disease that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems of puppies and dogs. What many people may not know is that distemper also is a potentially deadly phocine (seal family) virus that poses a significant threat to marine mammal species around the world, including the highly endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Phocine distemper virus was first recognized in 1988 following a massive epidemic in harbor and grey seals in northwestern Europe. Multiple outbreaks followed, with tens of thousands of seals dying as epidemics swept through populations that had no immunity to a virus that is suspected to have its roots in terrestrial hosts. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, funded by Morris Animal Foundation, first confirmed that phocine distemper virus had crossed the Atlantic Ocean into marine mammals in the Pacific waters. In a second study, also funded by the foundation, the researchers evaluated the extent of the infection, the timeline of its emergence, and the role PDV may play in the health of marine mammal populations off the coast of Alaska. “Through our work, we were able to document that the virus is present and circulating in most Arctic and subarctic seals, sea lions and sea otters,” said Dr. Jonna Mazet, professor at University of California, Davis, and director of the school’s Wildlife Health Center. “Results also indicated the virus moved into the Pacific from the Atlantic sometime after 2002 following an outbreak in Europe that killed 30,000 seals.”

In the second foundation-funded study, Mazet and her team were able to develop a new sensitive test for detecting phocine distemper; testing that will help track the spread of PDV along the Pacific West coast. They also showed that PDV is present in otters from other regions in Alaska, and circulating in ice seals, Northern fur seals, and Steller sea lions. Study findings were provided to the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission which has a working group on emerging health threats to marine mammals in the Pacific. As a result of Dr. Mazet’s team’s research, new surveillance and monitoring programs are in place for PDV infection in monk seals, and management plans have been developed in the event that any PDV-positive animals are detected. “New diagnostic tests and results from this study are providing important health data for monitoring PDV infections in marine mammals,” said Dr. Mazet. “Thanks to funding from Morris Animal Foundation, we have a better understanding of how the virus is moving through marine populations. That understanding is helping government and private conservation groups develop monitoring and management plans to help protect not only endangered species, such as the monk seal, but all at-risk marine mammals.” ✢

Your gifts at work For the past 67 years, Morris Animal Foundation has been a global leader in funding studies to advance animal health. Without the help of generous donors like you, we could not fulfill our mission to improve the health of dogs, cats, horses and wildlife worldwide.

B Y: J E A

Tick-borne disease on the rise in cats Cytauxzoonosis is an emerging, life-threatening disease of cats caused by Cytauxzoon felis, a tick-transmitted parasite closely related to the malaria parasite. High mortality and a growing epidemic demand the development of an effective vaccine control strategy. Combining genome sequencing and bioinformatics, researchers from North Carolina State University identified 30 C. felis proteins that stimulate the cat’s immune system. Identifying these proteins gets veterinary scientists a significant step closer to developing a vaccine against this deadly parasite.

Morris Animal Foundation improves the health and well-being of companion animals and wildlife by funding humane health studies and disseminating information about these studies. AnimalNEWS

Volume 15 Issue 4 Winter 2015

Passive immunotherapy, which uses specially designed antibodies to kill cancer cells, has revolutionized lymphoma treatment in humans. Employing recently available tools, researchers from the University of Minnesota evaluated an antibody immunotherapy combination that proved safe and effective in treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in canine cultured cells. This research has laid the groundwork for clinical trials of this promising new immunotherapy for dogs.

Simple test speeds up diagnosis of equine metabolic syndrome Equine metabolic syndrome is a significant equine health concern, and the most common cause of laminitis, a painful and crippling disease of the hoof. Researchers from Michigan State University showed that an easy-to-use, economical, oral sugar test provides veterinarians with a faster and simpler way to diagnose EMS. This rapid field test improves the veterinary community’s ability to evaluate and manage EMS and laminitis risk in horses.

Stingray populations declining worldwide

720 S. Colorado Blvd. Suite 174A Denver, CO 80246

Researchers from South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction & Conservation in Florida studied the cause of an emerging, serious, and sometimes fatal, reproductive disease of wild and captive female stingrays. The team developed specific diagnostic criteria to accurately assess this health challenge in a conservation population of stingrays. Age and possibly housing as single-sex groups in aquariums seem to influence the dynamics of this disease—important information for updating management and conservation plans for southern stingrays and related species.

Vaccines – the best shot at animal health B Y: J E A N V O R E

Foal pneumonia, a leading cause of disease and death in young horses, is a global veterinary health problem. The disease, which often clusters by farms, is found on all continents except Antarctica. Some farms experience problems recurrently and other farms sporadically or not at all. At farms that have problems with this disease, an average of 15 to 20 percent of foals develop pneumonia in a given year. “A vaccine for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia, considered the most common and important form of pneumonia in foals older than a few weeks of age, would be highly impactful for the health and welfare of young horses worldwide,” said Dr. Noah Cohan at Texas A&M University and a foundation-funded equine researcher. “Although treatment is important, preventing infectious disease is the more effective way to control infectious diseases.” Finding a vaccination strategy to control pneumonia in young horses is a top priority for Morris Animal Foundation and the equine research community. During the last 15 years, the foundation has invested more than $2 million dollars in foal pneumonia research. While foundation funding has helped scientists develop effective treatments, solely relying on treatments to control outbreaks can be problematic. “First, the disease often is well progressed by the time clinical signs are observed,” said Dr. Cohen, who has served as a member of the foundation’s Large Animal Scientific Advisory Board. “Consequently, treatment may not be effective or may prolong clinical management and recovery. Second, treatments can carry risks as well as benefits. In some patients, adverse effects can be life-threatening.” Developing safe and effective vaccines often is a long and complicated process that involves decades of research and, of course, funding. While billions of dollars are spent on developing new vaccines, only a minuscule slice of this funding is invested in developing vaccines for animal diseases. Funding for vaccine development in veterinary medicine typically is reserved for animal diseases that are a public health concern, like rabies, or that affect our food supply, like foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, or bird flu in poultry. Morris Animal Foundation is one of the few nonprofit organizations that provides a critical pool of funding for

species-specific diseases, such as foal pneumonia, that don’t fall into these two categories. With foundation funding, Dr. Cohen believes that the collaborative work between his team at Texas A&M and research colleagues at Harvard Medical School will provide a breakthrough toward the development of a vaccine for Rhodococcus equi foal pneumonia. Dr. Cohen credits support from Morris Animal Foundation for making this possible. Vaccines are crucial pieces in maintaining the health of all species, and the foundation continues to give its “best shot” to keep vaccine development moving forward to improve the health and welfare of companion animals, horses, and wildlife worldwide. In addition to foal pneumonia, the foundation also is funding vaccine development research in canine leishmaniasis (a sand fly-borne disease and worldwide health concern in dogs) and feline infectious peritonitis (a highly contagious and incurable disease in young cats). Other foundation-funded vaccine research focuses on assessing delivery methods for rabies vaccination of bats and the effectiveness of a canine melanoma vaccine for melanoma in horses. ✢

Golden Retriever Lifetime Study Update

Meet Sharon Albright, new study

veterinarian for the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study Dr. Sharon Albright joined Morris Animal Foundation in August as the new study veterinarian for the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. Dr. Albright writes: I fell in love with golden retrievers during my undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech. I adopted my first golden retriever from a bulletin board ad at the veterinary clinic where I was working during that time. We attended our first obedience class the day I picked him up and I was hooked. Since then, I have enjoyed training, competing, and living with my beloved golden retrievers. I graduated from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. I have practiced clinical medicine in several settings ranging from a small, rural practice to a large, urban hospital. Along the way I have learned a lot about how dogs

enrich our lives and that everyone’s relationship with their pet deserves respect. I believe in a holistic model of health that focuses not only on the treatment or prevention of disease, but also promotes wellness, vitality, and compassion throughout life and death. I have seen and experienced the pain of losing a pet to cancer. For all of these reasons I am excited to join the Morris Animal Foundation team in support of the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. We are gathering so much data that can provide clues about cancer, nutrition, environment, and lifestyle. The passion invested in this study is obvious. I am honored to be a part of it. ✢
