Abstract
The present study was aimed to detect canine distemper virus and study the histopathological changes in tissues of a dog affected with Canine Distemper. The tissue samples were confirmed for the presence of viral RNA with the partial L gene. The brain tissue revealed non suppurative encephalitis and necrosis of neurons. In spleen, lymphoid depletion and focal areas of necrosis in the white pulp were observed.
