제주지역 길고양이 전염성 바이러스 및 주혈기생충 질병의 감염률 조사

Abstract

There are feline leukemia virus, feline Immunodeficiency virus, feline corona virus, feline parvo virus in main feline infectious viral diseases, and babesia spp., theileria spp. and hepatozoon spp in feline hemoparasitic diseases. In this study, 75 feral cats (35 males; 40 females) were tested to determined the prevalence of FeLV antigen, FIV antibody, FCoV antibody and FPV antigen using chromatographic immunoassay test kit. And also, we investigated three hemoparasite diseases by using multiplex PCR. In order to monitor the feral cats health status, we've examined the individual blood test. An overall prevalence of FCoV antibody detection was 5.3% (4/75), FPV antigen detection was 6.7% (5/75). FeLV antigen and FIV antibody were not detected. And the babesia spp., theileria spp. and hepatozoon spp. were not detected by PCR. We surveyed a feline viral infection and hemoparasitic diseases on the feral cats in Jeju, Korea. This study is significant as a basis for broadening the understanding of Jeju feral cat's disease.
