The most important infectious diseases affecting cats are feline panleukopenia, feline viral respiratory diseases, feline infectious peritonitis, and the feline leukemia virus disease complex. Other infectious diseases affect cats, but do not occur as frequently. Feline Panleukopenia also is variously termed feline infectious enteritis, or cat distemper. It is caused by a parvovirus (DNA virus)...

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 ...

Approximately 80% of the genome of feline panleukopenia virus was cloned into pBR322. This DNA included the transcription unit for the major viral mRNA species. The nucleotide sequence of the cloned portion of the genome was determined. Comparison of the feline panleukopenia virus sequence with the sequences of the parvoviruses minute virus of mice and H-1 revealed considerable homology between...

Previously, we reported that a feline T lymphoid cell line, FL74 cells, was very sensitive to feline parvovirus (FPV) infection. In the present study, we developed new quantitative methods for detection of FPV and virus neutralizing antibody against FPV using FL74 cells. The methods presented here were very simple and applicable to both canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus.

Parvoviruses of carnivores include three closely related autonomous parvoviruses: canine parvovirus (CPV), feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and mink enteritis virus (MEV). These viruses cause a variety of serious diseases, especially in young patients, since they have a remarkable predilection for replication in rapidly dividing cells. FPV is not the only parvovirus species which infects cats; ...

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 ...

Canine parvovirus belongs to the genus Protoparvovirus, family Parvoviridae. The virion is non-enveloped having icosahedral symmetry of 26nm diameter. It has a single stranded negative sense genome of 5.2 kb in length. This single-stranded virus has a DNA genome and use cellular replication machinery, their rate of nucleotide substitution is closer to that of RNA viruses than to that of double-...

Introduction Feline panleukopenia is caused by feline parvovirus (FPV), which is a highly contagious virus affecting all members of Felidae. Severity of clinical signs depends on age, immune status, and concurrent infections. Clinical disease ranges from subclinical infection to a peracute syndrome with sudden death. Typical initial signs include fever, depression, and anorexia. Affected cats c...

Several infectious diseases are the cause or associated with the female and occasionally the male reproductive system of the cat.1>2,3,4,5,6^7,a Most notable are the viral diseases that cause infertility, embryonal-fetal death and resorption, malformations, abortion, mummification, stillborns and kitten neonatal death. Two classical viral infections, panleukopenia and feline viral rhinotracheit...

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV) strain HRB-CS1, isolated from a dead domestic cat showing enteric symptoms in China in 2014. The genome of HRB-CS1 was sequenced and analyzed, which will help to understand the genetic characteristics and evolution of FPLV in China.
