BACKGROUND Cats are susceptible to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and canine parvovirus (CPV) variants 2a, 2b and 2c. Detection of FPV and CPV variants in apparently healthy cats and their persistence in white blood cells (WBC) and other tissues when neutralising antibodies are simultaneously present, suggest that parvovirus may persist long-term in the tissues of cats post-infection without ...

Canine parvovirus (CPV) infections occurred in 5 of 35 South American canids at the Department of Conservation (DC), a breeding facility of the National Zoological Park in Front Royal, Va. The clinical signs were anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea, and vomiting. Three of the affected canids survived and had high hemagglutination-inhibition titers to CPV in the recovery period. Necropsy of the 2 that ...

Feline panleukopenia is an infectious disease caused by a virus from the Parvoviridae family. This can infect cats of all ages with high morbidity and mortality rates. Mocca cat, male, 5 years old, weighs 3 kg simptoms are days diarrhea, does not want to eat for 1 day, always salivates, has been vaccinated, given worm medicine, had bloody cat often let loose. The results physical examination sh...

Canine parvovirus (CPV) emerged in 1978 as a host range variant of feline panleukopenia virus (FPV). This change of host was mediated by the mutation of five residues on the surface of the capsid. CPV and FPV enter cells by endocytosis and can be taken up by many non-permissive cell lines, showing that their host range and tissue specificity are largely determined by events occurring after cell...

Modulation of the immune system through nutrition is aim many studies. As induction a rapid onset immunity in cats often critical, objective this study was to evaluate effects orally administered dietary nucleotides and cationic peptides, on vaccination response cats. The were allocated two groups: Group A (n = 8) fed diet with peptides for ninety-two days, C without peptides. vaccinated agains...

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV) is a virulent pathogen that emerged in the late 1970s, probably originating from feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV) or a closely related carnivore parvovirus belonging to the feline parvovirus (FPV) subspecies. In contrast to FPLV, CPV has evolved rapidly since its emergence. The original antigenic type of CPV disappeared more than two decades ago and several new a...
