Abstract
Serum samples from two leopard cats (Felis bengalensis) and four Formosan g em-faced civets (Paguma larvata taivana) in Taiwan, September 1995, and nin e 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 ni ne of 11 leopard cats were shown to have antibodies against feline parvovir us (FPV), and FPVS were isolated from mononuclear cells in the peripheral b lood of the six leopard cats.
