Two new states have officially recorded cases of Atypical Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (aCIRDC) this week, bringing the total number of states with sick dogs up to 16.

Nevada and Pennsylvania were added to the 14 states that the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine listed as seeing the disease.

The American Veterinary Medical Association recorded Pennsylvania as having the disease, USA Today previously reported. The Las Vegas Sun reported that a veterinarian in Henderson, Nevada had reported seeing cases and a school spokesperson confirmed that the reports were used to add the state to the list.

The exact cause of the disease is still unknown, though researchers in New Hampshire suggest that "a funky bacterium" could be responsible.
