ABCD: Update of the 2009 guidelines on prevention and management of feline infectious diseases

Marian C Horzinek et al. J Feline Med Surg. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

In this article, the ABCD guidelines published in the JFMS Special Issue of July 2009 (Volume 11, Issue 7, pages 527-620) are updated by including previously unavailable and novel information. For a better picture, the reader is advised to consult that issue before focusing on the novel features.
