Table 4.
The total number of referred breeds and the mortality and fatality rates in each breed dog within 1-year study period
| Breed (No.) | No. of positive cases (%) | Mortality rate (%) | Fatality rate (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed (255) | 22 (8.63%) | 5.49 | 14/20* (70.00) |
| Husky (59) | 4 (6.78%) | 5.08 | 3/4 (75.00) |
| Afghan (96) | 6 (6.25%) | 4.17 | 4/5* (80.00) |
| Spitz (149) | 5 (3.36%) | 2.68 | 4/5 (80.00) |
| German Shepherd (133) | 4 (3.01%) | 1.50 | 2/4 (50.00) |
| Terrier (173) | 5 (2.89%) | 1.73 | 3/5 (60.00) |
| Other (347) | 3 (0.86%) | 0.58 | 2/3 (66.67) |
| Total (1212) | 49 (4.04%) | 2.64 | 32/46 (69.57) |
The logistic regression analysis showed no significant difference in the fatality rate of distemper in different breeds (p > 0.05).
* Two mixed breed dogs and one Afghan dog excluded from the fatality analysis because outcome of them were unknown.
