Cat flu is the common name for a feline upper respiratory disease, which can be caused by one or more possible pathogens: Feline herpes virus, causing feline viral rhinotracheitis (cat common cold; this is the disease most associated with the "cat flu" misnomer), Feline calicivirus, Bordetella bronchiseptica (cat kennel cough), or
Treatments for influenza include a range of medications and therapies that are used in response to disease influenza. Treatments may either directly target the influenza virus itself; or instead they may just offer relief to symptoms of the disease, while the body's own immune system works to recover from infection.

The HSV virus used as an oncolytic virus has retained their native thymidine kinase gene which allows it to be targeted with antiviral therapy in the event of unwarranted side effects. [ 8 ] Other challenges include developing an optimal method of delivery either directly to the tumor site or intravenously and allowing for target of multiple ...
Feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) is an upper respiratory or pulmonary infection of cats caused by Feline herpesvirus, also called Feline herpesvirus 1 (FeHV-1), of the family Herpesviridae. It is also commonly referred to as feline influenza , feline coryza , and feline pneumonia but, as these terms describe other very distinct collections of ...
The avian influenza viruses cats may get include H5N1 or H7N2, [1] notable pathogenic subtypes of the virus. In order to get the virus, a cat would need to be in contact with infected waterfowl, poultry, or uncooked poultry. [2] Two of the main organs that the virus affects are the lungs and liver. [3]
Baloxavir marboxil, sold under the brand name Xofluza, is an antiviral medication for treatment of influenza A and influenza B. [4] It was approved for medical use both in Japan and in the United States in 2018, [7] [8] [9] and is taken as a single dose by mouth. [4]
Viral interference refers to the inhibition of virus growth caused by previous exposure of cells to an active or a heat-inactivated virus. Isaacs and Lindenmann were working with a system that involved the inhibition of the growth of live influenza virus in chicken embryo chorioallantoic membranes by heat-inactivated influenza virus.
Viral interference is considered the most common outcome of coinfection, or the simultaneous infection of a host by two or more distinct viruses. [5] The primary form of viral interference is known as superinfection exclusion, in which the initial infection stimulates a resistance to subsequent infection by related viruses.
