Feline Influenza Virus (FInV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)
are two important viruses causing cat flu and neoplastic disease all over the
world, respectively but to the knowledge, there is no epidemiological survey
report available for these two killer diseases in cat in Bangladesh. Therefore,
the present study was aimed to determine the prevalence of FInV and FeLV infection
through an epidemiologic survey in selected areas of Bangladesh. For this purpose,
a total 60 randomly selected cats consisting of 48 pet and 12 stray cats at
Tangail district in Bangladesh during May to October, 2009 were used. Nasal
swab and blood sample were collected from all cats and tested by commercial
rapid RapiGEN® Feline Influenza Virus (FInV) Ag Test kit and
RapiGEN® Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) Ag Test kit, respectively
following the manufacturer’s (RapiGEN Inc., Korea) instructions. Results
revealed the overall prevalence of feline influenza and feline leukemia recorded
5.0 and 1.67%, respectively in cats. There was no significant relationship between
the diseases (FInV and FeLV) and different variables. However, the knowledge
of the status of FInV and FeLV in cats in the study area will be helpful to
undertake preventive measures for FInV and FeLV infection. |
