Viral Coinfections Potentially Associated with Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis in Cats with Feline Infectious Peritonitis [PDF]

Viruses
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal but now treatable disease in cats caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV). This study prospectively investigated viral coinfections in 100 cats diagnosed with FIP and subsequently treated with oral GS-441524 ...

Temporal activity patterns of North China leopards and their prey in response to moonlight and habitat factors

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The nocturnal activities of predators and prey are influenced by several factors, including physiological adaptations, habitat quality and, we suspect, corresponds to changes in brightness of moonlight according to moon phase.

Feline calicivirus [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2007
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is an important and highly prevalent pathogen of cats. It belongs to the family Caliciviridae which includes other significant pathogens of man and animals. As an RNA virus, high polymerase error rates convey upon FCV a high genome plasticity, and allow the virus to respond rapidly to environmental selection pressures.

Cattle Grazing Effects on Vegetation and Wild Ungulates in the Forest Ecosystem of a National Park in Northeastern China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
There is evidence that cattle grazing in forests limits big cat abundance. There is concern, too, about competition with wild ungulate prey through bottom-up effects on vegetation.
