Feline panleukopenia (FP) is a severe viral illness caused by the feline virus (FPV), putting sectors like companion cat breeding and endangered conservation at risk. The has high morbidity fatality rate found all over world. We created novel FPV assay using nanoPCR technology assessed method’s specificity sensitivity. approach amplified 345 bp nucleic acid fragment with minimum detection limit...

Feline Panleukopenia (FP) is highly infectious disease for felidae kingdom but has not been found in human. FP caused by feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) from the parvoviridae family. FPV a very high mortality and morbidity rates. symptoms this fever, appetite loss, vomit which occur hypersalivation. Most cases happen on stray cat. The growing population of cat can increase risk FPV. aim study ...

Norovirus (NoV) RNA was detected in the stools of 6 out 14 (42.8%) 8-12-week-old cats with enteritis from a feline shelter, in New York State. Upon sequence analysis of the complete capsid, the six NoVs were found to be identical, suggesting the spread of a unique NoV strain in the shelter. The full-length genomic sequence (7839 nt) of one feline NoV, CU081210E/2010/US, was determined. In the c...

A 2-year-old male Pekingese dog was referred to Shiraz University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital for anorexia and depression. The case had no history of surgery. Physical examination revealed no abnormalities except mild depression and fever. Small, coccoid, epicellular bacteria were detected on erythrocytes by microscopic examination of the Giemsa-stained blood smears. Abnormalities noted in t...

A lamellar keratoplasty was used to treat corneal sequestrum in four Persian cats (six eyes). Following a superficial keratectomy, lamellar corneal allografts (feline corneal tissue) or heterografts (canine corneal tissue) which had been preserved at -20 degrees C were placed in the recipient cornea. All grafts became optically transparent within 2 months following surgery and no recurrences of...

The variable domains of antigen receptors are very diverse and assembled in a modular system from a number of V-, D-, and J-region genes. Here we describe additional variants of V- and J-region genes of the feline T-cell receptor gamma (TRG) as well as the corresponding RSSs retrieved from Trace Archive of feline genomic sequences. Additionally, an unusually recombined TRGV-domain containing a ...

Feline endometrial adenocarcinomas are uncommon malignant neoplasms that have been poorly characterized to date. In this study, we describe a uterine adenocarcinoma in a Persian cat with feline leukemia virus infection. At the time of presentation, the cat, a female Persian chinchilla, was 2 years old. The cat underwent surgical ovariohystectomy. A cross-section of the uterine wall revealed a t...

This study determined the distribution and zoonotic potential of Giardia duodenalis assemblage types among canine and feline fecal samples from Ontario. The effectiveness of Giardia assemblage typing methods by sequencing the genes of small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssu-rRNA), β-giardin (bg), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh), and triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) was evaluated simultaneously. From 200...

Gingivostomatitis (GS) is a significant condition in cats because of oral discomfort and associated periodontal disease. Several infectious agents have been associated with the presence of GS, but a causal relationship is unclear. The cats in this study were housed together, had a history of flea exposure, and were vaccinated with a modified live FVRCP product. There were nine cats with active ...

The feline homologue of CD134 is the primary binding receptor for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), targeting the virus preferentially to activated CD4+ helper T cells. However, strains of FIV differ in utilization of CD134; the prototypic strain PPR requires a minimal determinant in the first cysteine-rich domain (CRD1) of feline CD134 to confer near-optimal receptor function, while strains...
