There is no such thing as a Human Distemper Virus. The Canine Distemper Virus is only transferable from dog to dog. It is, however, similar to the human virus the Measles. The only way the Canine Distemper Virus would ever transfer to humans is if the virus would be given "new instructions", and mutate. Antibiotics do not work on virus' so there is no cure to CDV, only prevention (by vaccination).
