Wolf 949M (Alpha Male of Lamar Canyon) (2017)

"One [Wolf] died of canine distemper virus (CDV)"

"In mid-August the alpha male of the Lamar Canyon pack started to exhibit acute disease symptoms. Observers at first noted mucous in his eyes, weight loss, and unsteady back legs and within one week the symptoms advanced to near-complete paralysis. Lab results confirmed he died of canine distemper virus and the virus in his particular case was concentrated in the nervous system"

*Note* : I transferred this thread to my forum : The Domain of the Wolf and updated and added many informations from the multiples sources I red. Hope it is understandable.  Also, there is a problem with the spacing between texts sometimes which i can't fix. Sorry for the inconvenience it might cause.

Although all the informations are based from my review, searches and documentation of my searches on the Internet, some informations can be, and are, inaccurate due to new papers coming out, new genetics analyses, etc etc.
