Corneal Lesions Associated With Feline Herpesvirus-1 Modified Live Vaccine Strain F2 in Two Cats. [PDF]
Feline herpesvirus‐1 (FHV‐1) modified live vaccine (MLV) is designated as a core vaccine for cats. As reported here, two 2‐month‐old domestic short hair cats (Cat 1 and Cat 2; the two were littermates) initially presented with sneezing, nasal and ocular discharge, and ocular discomfort (Day 0), which had persisted since their vaccination. At 1.5 months

Engineered VP1 mRNA Vaccine Induces Immunity and Complete Protection Against Feline Calicivirus in Cats. [PDF]
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a major pathogen of upper respiratory tract diseases in cats, posing a significant threat to feline health. While current FCV preventive measures rely primarily on traditional vaccines, messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a promising alternative, offering high efficacy, safety, rapid clinical development, and ...
