| successive deaths of a captive snow leopard (uncia uncia) and a serval (leptailurus serval) by infection with feline panleukopenia virus at sapporo maruyama zoo. | feline parvoviruses were isolated from frozen samples of intestines taken from a snow leopard (uncia uncia) and a serval (leptailurus serval) that died successively at sapporo maruyama zoo in hokkaido, japan. isolates possessed an antigenic epitope for both the feline panleukopenia virus (fplv) and mink enteritis virus, identified with a hemagglutination inhibition test. sequencing analyses of the vp2 region of the isolates revealed that the two isolates were identical and of the fplv-type. thes ... | 2010 | 21116104 |
| feline panleukopaenia virus in captive non-domestic felids in south africa. | an outbreak of feline panleukopaenia virus (fplv) infection was diagnosed by pathology, electron microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) in vaccinated captive-bred subadult cheetahs in south africa. subsequent to this disease outbreak, 12 cases of fplv diagnosed on histology were confirmed by pcr in captive african black-footed cat, caracal, cheetah, lion, ocelot and serval. phylogenetic analyses of the viral capsid protein gene on pcr-positive samples, vaccine and national center for bio ... | 2016 | 27380652 |
