CONTROL
  • Vaccination: Modified live virus vaccines are available and are often combined with other vaccines. Vaccination against ICH is recommended at the time of canine distemper vaccinations. Attenuated CAV 1 and CAV 2 are used as vaccines. Attenuated CAV-1 vaccines may produce transient unilateral or bilateral opacities of the cornea, and the virus may be shed in urine. However, CAV-2 attenuated live virus strains, which provide cross protection against CAV-1 does not produce corneal opacities or uveitis, and the virus is not shed in urine. Animals should be revaccinated annually.
  • Eradication: Eradication aimed towards proper vaccination and hygiene at kennels and places where dogs frequent.
