    The study on distemper reveals that this viral disease can affect several native species, resulting in serious consequences for populations of wild canines, whether kept in captivity or not, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The clinical signs observed in wild canines are similar to those found in domestic dogs and include lethargy, fever, nasal and ocular secretion, in addition to severe neuromuscular complications that can develop over time. The transmission of the virus between different species represents a significant threat to the conservation of wild species, especially due to the proximity of urban areas to the natural environment, which results in the fragmentation and degradation of habitats. In addition, the migration of domestic species to conservation and rehabilitation centers also contributes to the spread of the virus, since animals can carry pathogens and transmit the disease to wild species. This work highlights the importance of an effective clinical approach in the management of distemper for the conservation of wild canines, demonstrating the importance of adopting appropriate diagnostic methods and treatment strategies, as well as the application of preventive measures for the intervention and spread of the disease between species, thus protecting the health of these animals and preserving them from infectious diseases.
