Growth characteristics of feline panleukopenia virus in synchronized kitten kidney cells.

Antigenic detection of Feline Panleukopenia virus (FPV) in diarrhoeic companion cats in Ahvaz area

The present study was carried out for the antigen detection of Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) in diarrhoeic cats referred to the Veterinary Clinic of the School of Ahvaz University, in southwest Iran. Faecal samples were collected from 67 diarrhoeic household cats during 2005 to 2007. According to the age and clinical signs, the cats were divided into two groups; 6 months, hemorrhagic and ...

Feline panleukopenia virus revisited: molecular characteristics and pathological lesions associated with three recent isolates.

The low incidence of clinical signs or pathological lesions compatible with feline panleukopenia in cats has created the perception among practitioners that the disease has disappeared since the emergence of canine parvovirus type 2 in the late 1970s. Three parvoviruses that were recently isolated from a domestic cat and 2 cheetahs in cell culture or detected by means of the polymerase chain re...

Three-year duration of immunity in cats following vaccination against feline rhinotracheitis virus, feline calicivirus, and feline panleukopenia virus.

Forty-two seronegative cats received an initial vaccination at 8 weeks of age and a booster vaccination at 12 weeks. All cats were kept in strict isolation for 3 years after the second vaccination and then were challenged with feline calicivirus (FCV) or sequentially challenged with feline rhinotracheitis virus (FRV) followed by feline panleukopenia virus (FPV). For each viral challenge, a sepa...

Cultivation of measles virus in sheep kidney cells

Vaccinia virus infection of synchronized pig kidney cells.

Vaccinia virus replication was studied in pig kidney (PK-15) cells synchronized by excess thymidine treatment. It was found that virus replication with concomitant inhibition of mitosis can occur at any period in the life cycle of the cell except for the narrow span of time from late prophase through telophase. Cells infected at this time continue to divide, and vaccinia does not replicate unti...
