Vaccine. 2009 Jun 17. [Epub ahead of print]
A chimeric measles virus with canine distemper envelope protects
ferrets from lethal distemper challenge.

Prairies, Laval, Quebec H7V 1B7, Canada.
CDV infects a broad range of carnivores, and over the past decades it
has caused outbreaks in a variety of wild carnivore populations. Since
the currently available live-attenuated vaccine is not sufficiently
safe in these highly susceptible species, we produced a chimeric virus
combining the replication complex of the measles Moraten vaccine
strain with the envelope of a recent CDV wild type isolate. The
resulting virus did not cause disease or immunosuppression in ferrets
and conferred protection from challenge with a lethal wild type
strain, demonstrating its potential value for wildlife conservation
efforts.
