Technical information
Feline panleukopenia, also known as feline distemper, is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects young kittens. It is caused by the feline parvovirus (FPV), a non-enveloped DNA virus from the Parvoviridae family.
Transmission and environmental resistance
The virus is mainly transmitted through direct contact with infected animals and contaminated objects. Parvoviruses are characterized by extremely high tenacity and remain infectious for a long time across a wide pH range and at high temperatures in the environment.
Symptoms and disease progression
The incubation period is usually between 3 and 12 days. Affected animals show symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. Due to leukopenia, bacterial secondary infections can occur, worsening the prognosis.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is made through clinical examination and laboratory analysis of blood and feces, with direct detection of the pathogen. A characteristic feature is the reduction in white blood cells (leukopenia).
Treatment
There is no specific antiviral therapy. Treatment is symptomatic and includes fluid therapy, antibiotics to prevent secondary infections, and antiemetic medications. In severe cases, intensive medical care is required.
Prevention
Vaccination is the most effective preventive measure. Cats should receive their first vaccination at 6 to 8 weeks of age, with boosters according to the vaccine manufacturer's recommendations. Due to the virus's high environmental resistance, thorough hygiene and disinfection of areas exposed to infected animals are also essential.
