RESUMEN

A canine parvovirus (CPV)-like virus was detected by PCR and isolated from dead coatis in Argentina. Analysis of the full-length genome sequence revealed that it resembled CPV-but also contained a mutation in the VP2 protein (Arg377Ser) that has not been described previously. This is the first report of a CPV-like virus producing clinical disease in coatis. Genetic similarity to CPV-2c viruses detected in Brazil suggests a strong relationship between these viruses. Although the pathogenic potential of CPV- and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV)-like strains in wild animals is still not completely understood, this study highlights the importance of parvoviruses as a threat to wildlife if proper conditions are present.

RESUMEN

Copper deficiency in humans and animals has been related to increased susceptibility to infections. Neutrophils are one of the most studied components of the immune response; however, to the best of our knowledge, other defenses of the innate immune system have not been analyzed in copper-deficient animals. Our previous studies in copper-deficient bovines have shown increased susceptibility to infectious keratoconjunctivitis, an ocular disease caused by Moraxella bovis. The objective of this work was to evaluate the bactericidal activity of lachrymal secretion and complement system, two main mechanisms of the innate immune response against M. bovis, in copper-deficient cattle. Our results indicate that copper deficiency has no effect on bactericidal activity of complement system and lachrymal secretion against M. bovis in calves. Other components of local and systemic ocular defense mechanisms that could explain the increased susceptibility to infectious keratoconjunctivitis observed in copper-deficient bovines should be investigated.
