Detailed description
Infectious diseases caused by feline parvovirus , feline infectious enteritis virus, feline plague virus, feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) are characterized by high fever, vomiting, severe leukopenia and enteritis. Cat infectious enteritis has been discovered by some European and American scholars since the thirties of the last century. But the virus was first isolated and cultured in 1957. Later, Johnson (1964) isolated the same virus from the spleen of a leopard with symptoms similar to feline infectious enteritis and identified it as parvovirus, and significant progress was made in the study of the disease. Through the etiological study of similar diseases in a variety of animals, it has been proved that FPV infects a variety of animals of the feline and mustelid family, such as tigers, leopards, lions and raccoons, under natural conditions, but smaller cats, including mink, are the most susceptible. FPV is currently the widest and most pathogenic of the virus in this genus. Therefore, it is also one of the main viruses in this genus.
