Abstract

We report the detection of canine adenovirus type 1 DNA by real-time PCR technique in an oral sample of an Italian wolf (<i>Canis lupus italicus</i>). Genetic characterization of the virus revealed a strict relationship with viruses detected in dogs (<i>Canis lupus familiaris</i>), wolves, and red foxes (<i>Vulpes vulpes</i>), suggesting that transmission between wild animals and dogs had occurred.
