Although primarily associated with gastrointestinal illness, recent evidence suggests a potential for systemic dissemination, which remains insufficiently explored. To improve detection, we developed and validated a duplex quantitative real-time PCR (dqPCR) assay for simultaneous identification of MAstV5 and AiV-A2.

Analytical performance was assessed using synthetic plasmid standards and RNA from non-target viruses, including canine parvovirus (CPV), canine morbillivirus (CDV), and canine enteric coronavirus (CCoV). Our dqPCR assay had high linearity (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> > 0.99) and sensitivity, with limits of detection of 10 copies/μL for MAstV5 and 100 copies/μL for AiV-A2.

Updated diagnoses, modified after histologic assessment for a fibrous capsule, smooth muscle trabeculae, and white and red pulp, were accessory spleen (37 cases) and splenosis (9). Concurrent splenic lesions were reported in 12 cases in which accessory spleens were diagnosed and only 2 splenosis cases, confirming that the histologic diagnosis of accessory spleen and splenosis is not always correlated with the clinical history and gross findings (no splenic lesions vs. splenic lesions with rupture). For that reason, <i>ectopic splenic tissue</i> may be a more inclusive and better term for these lesions.
