Overview

Canine coronavirus is a contagious virus that infects dogs, primarily causing disease of the gastrointestinal tract. It spreads through contact with the feces of infected animals or contaminated surfaces and commonly produces symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and lethargy, with severity ranging from mild and self-limiting to more serious illness, particularly in young puppies or when other infections are present. As an animal coronavirus, it belongs to the same broad family of viruses that includes agents affecting many species, and its study contributes to understanding how coronaviruses cause enteric and other disease. Within the scope of coronavirus research, canine and other animal coronaviruses are of interest both for veterinary health and for the broader picture of coronavirus biology and the interactions between animal and human infections. The journal addresses coronaviruses across this spectrum, including the roles animals play in the ecology of these viruses; for example, broader work has considered animals as sources, victims, or contributors to controlling coronavirus spread during the COVID-19 era. This page brings together peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to canine coronavirus and the wider study of coronavirus infection, transmission, and disease across species.
