| serologic survey and serum biochemical reference ranges of the free-ranging mountain lion (felis concolor) in california. | serum samples from 58 mountain lions (felis concolor) in california (usa) were collected between april 1987 and february 1990. nineteen serum samples were used for serum biochemistry determinations; the ranges were similar to reference values in domestic cats, captive exotic felidae and free-ranging mountain lions. a serological survey was conducted to determine whether antibodies were present against selected infectious agents. fifty-four (93%) of 58 sera had antibodies against feline panleukop ... | 1994 | 8028105 |
| common virus infections in cats, before and after being placed in shelters, with emphasis on feline enteric coronavirus. | the purpose of this study was to determine the origin and subsequent spread of feline calicivirus (fcv), feline herpesvirus (fhv), and feline enteric coronavirus (fecv) in cats relinquished to shelters. fcv was isolated from the oral fauces of 11% of healthy cats upon entry, and isolation rates were highest for kittens (33%). fhv shedding was very low (4%) at the time of entry and occurred mainly in juveniles. fecv shedding was also common among newly relinquished cats (33%), especially older ki ... | 2004 | 15123152 |
| exposure to feline and canine pathogens in bobcats and gray foxes in urban and rural zones of a national park in california. | exposure of bobcats (lynx rufus) and gray foxes (urocyon cinereoargenteus) to a range of common canine and feline pathogens was assessed in urban and rural zones of golden gate national recreation area, a national park in the san francisco bay area, (california, usa) from 1992 to 1995. testing included serology for canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus (cpv), canine adenovirus, leptospira interrogans, feline calicivirus (fcv), feline panleukopenia virus, feline herpesvirus, feline enteric co ... | 2004 | 15137484 |
| faecal virome of cats in an animal shelter. | we describe the metagenomics-derived feline enteric virome in the faeces of 25 cats from a single shelter in california. more than 90 % of the recognizable viral reads were related to mammalian viruses and the rest to bacterial viruses. eight viral families were detected: astroviridae, coronaviridae, parvoviridae, circoviridae, herpesviridae, anelloviridae, caliciviridae and picobirnaviridae. six previously known viruses were also identified: feline coronavirus type 1, felid herpes 1, feline cal ... | 2014 | 25078300 |
| feline infectious peritonitis in a mountain lion (puma concolor), california, usa. | feline infectious peritonitis (fip) is a fatal immune-mediated vasculitis of felids caused by a mutant form of a common feline enteric virus, feline enteric coronavirus. the virus can attack many organ systems and causes a broad range of signs, commonly including weight loss and fever. regardless of presentation, fip is ultimately fatal and often presents a diagnostic challenge. in may 2010, a malnourished young adult male mountain lion (puma concolor) from kern county, california, usa was eutha ... | 2013 | 23568918 |
