Prevalence of Feline Panleukopenia Virus in Stray and Household Cats in Seoul, Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We investigated the prevalence of feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) in stray and household cats in different
regions of Seoul, Republic of Korea. Blood samples were collected from a total of 200 cats (100 stray cats and 100
household cats) and examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The overall prevalence of FPV was 2%. Among
test-positive cats, 3% (3/100) were stray cats and 1% (1/100) was a household cat. The incidence of FPV was higher
in juvenile cats (< 1 year, 1.5%) than in adult cats (> 1-year-old, 0.5%). The FPV-positive rates of healthy infected
cats and sick cats were 1.9% (3/156) and 2.2% (1/44), respectively. We found the positive rate of vaccinated and
unvaccinated cats to be 1.3% (1/77) and 2.4% (3/123), respectively. Unlike antibody tests, FPV antigen tests detected
current infections in stray and household cats. Therefore, these tests can help in disease diagnosis and treatment. To
our knowledge, our study is the first to survey the prevalence of FPV in different cat populations across Seoul. We
found a high prevalence of FPV infection in stray and juvenile cats. Therefore, proper vaccination and surveillance
are important to prevent FPV outbreaks.
