Feline calicivirus (FCV) causes a variable syndrome of upper respiratory tract disease, mouth ulcers and lameness. A convenience-based prospective sample of oropharyngeal swabs (n=426) was obtained from five countries (France, Germany, Greece, Portugal and the UK). The prevalence of FCV by virus isolation was 22.2 per cent. Multivariable analysis found that animals presenting with lymphoplasmac...

Ct values, the concentration of free chlorine multiplied by time of contact with virus, were determined for free-chlorine inactivation experiments carried out with chloroform-extracted (dispersed) and non-chloroform-extracted (aggregated) feline calicivirus (FCV), adenovirus type 40 (AD40), and polio virus type 1 (PV-1). Experiments were carried out with high and low pH and temperature conditio...

Feline Caliciviral infection is typically associated with mild depression, sneezing, ocular and nasal discharges, and often mouth ulceration. However, isolates vary in their pathogenicity. Some isolates reproducibly cause a more severe syndrome; some induce oral or nasal ulceration alone; some induce an interstitial pneumonia and some appear to be apathogenic[ 1-31. Infection with feline calici...

Complement fixation inhibiting and complement-fixing antibodies were demonstrated in sera from cats during the acute and convalescent stages, respectively, of feline picornavirus infections. Complement-fixing antibody activity was present in 19S and 7S globulins, whereas complement fixation inhibiting antibody activity was confined to the 7S globulins. Sera with complement-fixing antibody and s...

Bu çalışma ile feline calicivirus (FCV) enfekte kedilerde hücresel immün yanıtın, oksidatif stresin ve yangısal sürecin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada FCV 20 adet kedi 10 klinik olarak sağlıklı olmak üzere toplam 30 kullanılmıştır. tüm kedilerden toplanan serum örneklerinde spesifik ELISA test kitleri kullanılarak adenozin deaminaz 1 (ADA-1), paraoksonaz (PON-1), C-reaktif protein (CRP) ...
