    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Ophthalmology
    • Canine Genetics

    Background:

    • Persistent pupillary membrane (PPM) is a congenital ocular condition.
    • It can affect vision and is a concern in purebred dogs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and significance of persistent pupillary membrane in Basenjis.
    • To develop a scoring system for breeding merit related to PPM.

    Main Methods:

    • Ophthalmic examination of 105 Basenjis of varying ages.
    • Classification of PPM lesions by significance (minor or major).

    Main Results:

    • Persistent pupillary membrane was detected in 75 out of 105 Basenjis (71.4%).
    • Lesions were of major significance in 49 individuals (46.7%) and minor significance in 26 individuals (24.8%).

    Conclusions:

    • Persistent pupillary membrane represents a significant health issue within the Basenji breed in Victoria.
    • Control measures are recommended to address the prevalence of this ocular defect.
