Abstract
Prevalence of antibodies against selected pathogens in a San Joaquin k it fox, Vulpes macrotis mutica, population were Investigated at Camp R oberts Army National Guard Training Site, Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, California in 1989 and 1990. Prevalence of antibodies was d etermined from serum samples collected from 47 (26 female, 21 male) ad ult kit foxes and eight (four female, four male) juveniles. Antibodies were detected against five of the eight pathogens tested: canine dist emper virus, canine parvovirus, infectious canine hepatitis virus, Lep tospira interrogans, and Toxoplasma gondii. Antibodies were not detect ed against Brucella canis, Yersinia pestis, or Coccidioides immitis.
