Feline panleukopenia virus as the cause of diarrhea in a banded linsang (Prionodon linsang) in Thailand

Abstract

A banded linsang (Prionodon linsang) presented at our hospital with clinical signs of acute diarrhea. Fecal samples were positive for canine parvovirus (CPV) as determined by polymerase chain reaction with primers specific for both CPV and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV). The full-length VP2 was cloned, sequenced, and compared with sequences of FPV and CPV strains reported in GenBank. The amino acids that determined the host range were similar to those of FPV. Moreover, amino acid analysis of VP2 revealed over 98% homology to FPV. The FPV isolate was closely related with FPV isolates from Japan, South Korea, and China. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report that banded linsang can be infected with FPV.

Keywords: VP2; banded linsang; feline panleukopenia; genetic analysis; wildlife.

Phylogenetic analysis based on the entire VP2 gene amino acid sequence of feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) isolated in this study compared with canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus strains obtained from the GenBank database. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the MEGA6 program with the neighbor-joining method.
