OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.This study aimed to determine the presence of CPV-2 in cats with signs of FPL in Slovakia and to investigate the suitability of a CPV antigen test for detection of FPV. The study was conducted on samples from central Slovakia collected from October 2020 to December 2022. Cats were either from animal shelters or admitted to veterinary clinics for treatment because they presented FPL symptoms. Cats were initially screened for the presence of parvovirus antigens using a chromatographic immunological antigen (Ag)test for CPV and canine coronavirus (CCV). All samples were investigated for parvovirus infection by PCR targeting the VP2 gene (1,755 base pairs). Our results indicate that the commercial antigen test designed for the diagnosis of CPV-2 infection is sensitive enough and suitable for the clinical diagnosis of FPL.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishFeline panleukopenia is a contagious viral disease caused by the feline panleukopenia virus (FPV). A closely related pathogen is canine parvovirus (CPV), and amino acid substitutions in this virus allow it to acquire a feline host range. In feline hosts, the disease induced by CPV manifests with similar symptoms to those caused by FPV or milder ones, leading to its underdiagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of CPV type 2 (CPV-2) in cats with clinical symptoms of panleukopenia and to assess the use of commercial CPV antigen tests for the clinical diagnosis of FPV. Samples from 59 cats from central Slovakia were included in the study. Rectal swabs were collected and clinically tested for parvovirus infection using a commercial antigen test. Antigen-positive samples were confirmed by PCR targeting the viral VP2 gene. The sequences of the PCR products were established with the Sanger method. Although feline disease with CPV-2 was not confirmed, the CPV antigen test was able to detect FPV infection.
