Description
Loor-Giler and co-authors survey a gut virus of dogs across Ecuador. Canine astrovirus often appears alongside other gut viruses in dogs with vomiting and diarrhea. Testing 502 sick dogs from 2024, the team finds the virus in two thirds of them, most often together with parvovirus. They also read the gene for its outer coat to sort the strains.
Four of the five known lineages turn up, plus three strains that look like mixes of lineages. Because the virus is so common and so changeable, the authors argue it belongs in routine testing for canine gut disease, especially when several viruses strike at once.
