Dogs of various ages can suffer canine distemper while doggies and young dogs are easier to be infected. After virus comes into body from respiratory canal and alimentary canal, it will proliferate in macrophage in twenty-four hours. Passing through part of lymph system, the virus reaches amygdalae and bronchia lymph nodes. Virus will sharply proliferate in amygdalae and bronchia lymph nodes within 2-4 days. At this time, there are only few infected monocyte discovered in thymus, spleen and marrow. Virus will proliferate in spleen, mesentery lymph nodes in 4-6 days, which results in fever and reduction of leucocyte (mainly T and B lymphocyte reduction). Virus will spread into epithelia and nerve system in 8-9 days, which results in plasma-derived virus disease. Antibody will produce gradually in 14 days. And with increase of antibody, virus will be cleaned in body. Whereas some may be remained in nerve cells and skin, which can cause the above symptom reappearance in several or tens of days.
