摘要
Blood samples (n = 32) collected from free-ranging lions Panthera leo in the Kruger National Park were examined for the presence of antibodies to feline viruses. An indirect immunofluorescent antibody test was developed for this purpose and the organisms surveyed included feline panleukopenia, herpes, calici, and corona viruses. Twenty-seven lions (84%) had antibodies to panleukopenia virus, 29 (91%) had antibodies to herpes virus while all 32 animals were negative for antibodies to calici and corona viruses. This is the first record of evidence for the occurrence of feline panleukopenia infection in free-ranging non-domestic Felidae.
