Haigust on võimalik ennetada tuumikvaktsiiniga, mille kordusvaktsineerimisskeemi võiks korraldada vastavalt koera seerumis leitavatele antikehadele. Kindlasti peab arvesse võtma seda, et immuunpuudulikkusega koerad on vaktsineerimisjärgsetele tüsistustele vastuvõtlikud. Kasutatud kirjandus Fairley, RA., Knesl, O., Pesavento, PA., Elias, BC.

progressing through chocolate ticked tabby to red. The kittens traced to the same father and two related females (mother and daughter) and all three shared a common ancestress only a few generations back. DNA testing showed the russet kittens to have the standard seal or standard chocolate genes, meaning there is an a different gene causing the colour change. Russet kittens also tended to be larger than their littermates, both at birth and as adults. Russet appears to be a recessive gene from a spontaneous mutation. It causes the black pigment (eumelanin) to gradually fade to almost nothing while leaving the red pigment (phaeomelanin) unaffected. Like the amber colour change, it might be an extension gene mutation. Russet kittens have pink noses and paw-pads and a pale tail-tip. The muzzle and fur aroundthe eye is ivory. The back is solidly dark rather than ticked, becoming pale ivory halfway down the flanks
