L. Valicek et al., DEMONSTRATION OF PARVOVIRUS IN DIARRHEIC AFRICAN CHEETAHS (ACINONYX-JUBATUS-JUBATUS SCHREBER, 1775), Veterinarni medicina, 38(4), 1993, pp. 245-249
Parvovirus was demonstrated in the intestinal content of diarrhoeic Af
rican cheetahs by electron microscopy. The virus was isolated in a fel
ine kidney cell line inoculated with a filtrate of the intestinal cont
ent. Its growth characteristics, cytopathic effect, agglutination of p
orcine erythrocytes, structure, and results of immunoelectron microsco
pic examination were indistinguishable from those of feline panleukope
nia virus.
