The virus is shed in saliva and eye and nasal secretions, and can also be spread by fomites. FVR has a two- to five-day incubation period. [3] The virus is shed for one to three weeks postinfection. [4] Latently infected cats (carriers) will shed FHV-1 intermittently for life, with the virus persisting within the trigeminal ganglion.
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
A feline zoonosis is a viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, nematode or arthropod infection that can be transmitted to humans from the domesticated cat, Felis catus.Some of these diseases are reemerging and newly emerging infections or infestations caused by zoonotic pathogens transmitted by cats.
An analysis of all the publicly available viral genome sequences yielded a surprising result: humans give more viruses - about twice as many - to animals than they give to us.
Feline viral rhinotracheitis (FHV, aka herpes virus) Feline calicivirus (FCV) Rabies (where the disease is endemic or required by law) Non-core vaccines are recommended only for cats at risk of specific infection. These include: Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) Chlamydia felis; Bordetella bronchiseptica
A disease which can kill cats, both domestic and wild, has been discovered for the first time in the US. ... virus-- related to the wider-known rubella virus which causes a skin rash in humans ...
Nine herpesvirus types are known to primarily infect humans, [7] at least five of which are extremely widespread among most human populations, and which cause common diseases: herpes simplex 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, also known as HHV-1 and HHV-2; both of which can cause orolabial and genital herpes), varicella zoster (VZV or HHV-3; the cause ...
Different viruses can infect all the organs and tissues of the body and the outcomes range from mild or no symptoms, to life-threatening diseases. [5] Humans cannot be infected by plant or insect viruses, but they are susceptible to infections with viruses from other vertebrates. These are called viral zoonoses or zoonotic infections. [6]
