Abstract :

Viral diseases are turning up very rapidly in this modern era due to the specific evolution of viral genomes. The formation of new and resistant variants and strains of these pathogens leads to massive outbreaks not only in the livestock sector but also in the companion animals leading to a massive loss to the pet owners. Many diseases like Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper virus, Feline Herpes virus, and Feline Calicivirus are the major risk factors to the lives of cats and dogs. Different public awareness strategies are adopted by WHO and OIE to help raise knowledge about the lethality of these diseases. Vaccination programs and vaccination strategies are developed to cope with these infections as mentioned in the article.
