Canine distemper is a highly contagious viral disease of wild and domestic carnivores. The virus is widespread and has a broad host range among North American carnivores including the mink, striped skunks, fishers, red and gray fox, raccoons, coyotes, and weasels. Mortality is higher in juveniles than adults.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department (VTF&W) work together to keep Vermont's state highways safe for wildlife and for drivers.
