“…In Brazil, the serology showed the presence of antibodies against FCV in 21.6% of 21 serum samples analyzed from 1998 to 2004(FILONI et al, 2006 collected in: cougars, leopards and jaguars. Antibodies against FCV were also detected in 56.7% of the 97 serum samples from domestic cats tested in Pelotas/ RS (JOHANN et al, 2009). Our research group detected antibodies against FCV in 39.2% of the 630 serum samples derived from cities neighboring the UPF, UFSM and UFRGS (HENZEL et al, 2013).…”

“…Antibodies against FeHV-1 were detected in 50-75% of the cat population in Great Britain and in 50 to 70% of the adult domestic cats in Germany (GASKELL et al, 2007). In Brazil, 38.1% of 97 samples showed antibodies against FeHV-1 in a serological survey conducted in Pelotas, RS (JOHANN et al, 2009). The prevalence of antibodies against FeHV-1 was 30.6% in another study conducted with 630 serum samples provided by veterinary hospitals of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), University of Passo Fundo (UPF) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and from clinics in other cities of RS (HENZEL et al, 2013).…”

“…The viruses are distributed worldwide and have been isolated in Brazil in the State of Rio Grande do Sul [RS] (WEIBLEN et al, 1988;HENZEL et al, 2012b). Serological studies on domestic and wild cats have been performed in RS and in the West-Central region of Brazil (RUTHNER-BATISTA et al, 2005;JOHANN et al, 2009;HENZEL et al, 2013). The molecular characterization of FCV isolates has also been reported (HENZEL et al, 2012a).…”

Background: The epidemiology of feline calicivirus (FCV) infection in cats with idiopathic cystitis (FIC) has not been investigated by contemporary molecular biologic methods.Objectives: To determine the prevalence of and evaluate risk factors for FCV viruria, oral carriage, and virus neutralizing (VN) antibodies in cats with and without FIC.Animals: Cats with nonobstructive FIC (n 5 47), obstructive FIC (n 5 22), and FCV upper respiratory tract infection (URI; n 5 25), and healthy client-owned (n 5 18) and colony-housed (n 5 24) cats.Methods: Oropharyngeal secretions and urine were evaluated with a FCV p30 gene-based real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. Serum VN antibody titers were determined by a modified microtiter assay. Associations of risk factors with log-transformed antibody titers were determined by multivariable generalized linear regression.Results: FCV viruria was detected in 4 (6%) and 3 (12%) cats with FIC and URI, respectively. In 3 FIC cats, viruria was unassociated with detectable oral virus carriage. Oral FCV carriage was detected in 7 (10%) FIC cats. Median antibody titers were significantly higher in cats with obstructive FIC (1 : 256), nonobstructive FIC (1 : 128), and URI (1 : 512) compared with healthy client-owned (1 : 16) and colony-housed (1 : 4) cats (P o .001). Other than disease, multivariate analysis did not identify any other explanatory variables for increased titers in cats with FIC or URI.Conclusions and Clinical Importance: FCV viruria was detected in cats with FIC and URI, however, its etiologic significance is uncertain. Serologic results suggest increased FCV exposure in FIC cats compared with controls. Further investigations are needed to clarify the potential role of FCV in FIC.
