Rapid Differentiation of Dirofilaria Species in Dogs and Cats and Its Clinical Application
Dirofilaria infections in dogs and cats are caused by D. immitis and D. repens, which inhabit different body parts, often leading to mixed infections that challenge clinical diagnosis. Current diagnostic methods have limitations in distinguishing between species. This paper explores the use of molecular diagnostics for rapid differentiation to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Feline Parvovirus (FPV): Symptoms, Prevention, and Diagnosis
Feline Parvovirus (FPV), also known as feline panleukopenia, is a highly contagious pathogen that primarily affects cats, particularly kittens, adolescent cats, and sick cats. Similar to Canine Parvovirus (CPV), FPV targets the gastrointestinal tract and can lead to severe and potentially fatal symptoms. Understanding the clinical symptoms, preventive measures, and diagnostic methods for FPV is crucial for cat owners.

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): Symptoms, Outcomes, and Diagnosis
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that infects cats, affecting their immune system and increasing their vulnerability to various infections and illnesses. Unlike some viruses, a retrovirus can be incorporated into a cat’s genome and may persist over time. Affected cats may suffer from conditions such as anemia, cancer, and immune system suppression. Unfortunately, the disease tends to progress over time and is often fatal.
