Abstract
The low incidence of clinical signs or pathological lesions compatible with feline panleukopenia in cats has created the perception among practitioner s that the disease has disappeared since the emergence of canine parvovirus type 2 in the late 1970s. Three parvoviruses that were recently isolated f rom a domestic cat and 2 cheetahs in cell culture or detected by means of t he polymerase chain reaction were shown to be typical feline parvoviruses. Phylogenetic comparison with other FPV isolates did not reveal a particular African cluster.
