An eight-year survey for canine distemper virus indicates lack of exposure in the endangered Darwin's fox (Lycalopex fulvipes)

No evidence of exposure to canine distemper virus (CDV) was detected in 70 samples corresponding to 58 wild-trapped Darwin's foxes (Lycalopex fulvipes) in Chile. Given its current endangered status and it being immunologically naive, in the event of a CDV spillover from dogs to foxes, high population mortality is expected.
