Why is it important?
Canine distemper virus (CDV) and measles virus (MV) are closely related to each other and highly contagious and deadly to dogs and humans, respectively. Many reports suggest the potential expansion of the host range of CDV to varieties of animals,, but not yet to humans.
Perspectives
Detailed analysis provides deep insights into the host specificity and potential host expansion of these viruses.
