Serosurvey for Selected Virus Infections of Wild Carnivores in Taiwan and Vietnam
1999  Journal of Wildlife Diseases (35): 578-581

Serum samples from two leopard cats (_Felis bengalensis_) and four Formosan gem-faced civets (_Paguma larvata taivana_) in Taiwan, September 1995, and nine leopard cats in Vietnam, August and December 1997, were examined for the prevalence of antibodies against feline parvovirus, feline herpesvirus type 1, feline calicivirus and feline immunodeficiency virus. All civets and nine of 11 leopard cats were shown to have antibodies against feline parvovirus (FPV), and FPV's were isolated from mononuclear cells in the peripheral blood of the six leopard cats.
