cord-283946-ts2lyy4p	Pedersen, N.C	An isolated epizootic of hemorrhagic-like fever in cats caused by a novel and highly virulent strain of feline calicivirus	2000-05-11		.txt	text/plain	7664	390	54	An isolated epizootic of a highly fatal feline calicivirus (FCV) infection, manifested in its severest form by a systemic hemorrhagic-like fever, occurred over a 1-month period among six cats owned by two different employees and a client of a private veterinary practice. The causative agent was isolated from blood and nasal swabs from two cats; the electron microscopic appearance was typical for FCV and capsid gene sequencing showed it to be genetically similar to other less pathogenic field strains. The ®fth cat in this focal epidemic was Aristotle (Ari), a 3.5-year old, neutered male, domestic, indoors-only cat and the son of Ria. There were no signi®cant past health problems; he tested negative for FeLV and FIV infections and had been parenterally vaccinated against rabies and FPHCV on 10 April 1997 Ari presented on 19 October 1998 with a history of an acute onset of lethargy and anorexia of 2 days duration.	./cache/cord-283946-ts2lyy4p.txt	./txt/cord-283946-ts2lyy4p.txt
