Following the death of big cats, the Forest Department had captured 36 lions and shifted them to Jashadhar and Jamwala rescue centres in the Gir forest. After the CDV spread was confirmed in Asiatic lions, the State government urgently imported 300 shots of the vaccine from the US. CDV is mainly found in wild dogs, jackals and wolves. The disease can be contracted by lions if they eat any animal infected by it. It is a highly contagious virus that attacks the immune system and other vital organs. In most cases, the infection is fatal. According to the last census conducted in 2015, the number of lions in the Gir sanctuary stood at 523.
