Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a highly contagious and often fatal virus that affects members of the Canidae family. Foxes are susceptible to CDV, and outbreaks among fox populations have been reported in several species. The symptoms of distemper in foxes are similar to those in domestic dogs. Foxes may contract the virus directly from infected animals or via exposure to a contaminated environment. Among domestic animals’ dogs are often a source of infection for domestic and wildlife populations, while among wildlife primary sources are other wildlife through direct contact or vectors such as insects. This review comprehensively discusses the virus itself, its pathology, clinical signs, diagnostic methods, treatment options, preventive measures, and its impact on fox populations. Wildlife veterinarians and researchers monitor and study the impact of diseases like distemper on fox populations. Understanding the spread and prevalence of such diseases is crucial for wildlife conservation efforts.
