What disease in cats is caused by feline parvovirus?
Feline panleukopenia
T/F FPV is so contagious that 75% of unvaccinated cats will have a positive antibody titer at 1 year of age.
True
Which is more responsible for the maintenance of FPV? Environmental persistence or extended viral shedding
Environmental persistence
Which leukocytes are relatively safe compared to the others in a cat infected with FPV?
Trick quesiton- they are all up for destruction
What can also occur in FPV infections, alongside leukopenia, if the bone marrow is damaged?
Thrombocytopenia
Which cells being destroyed by FPV are responsible for enteritis associated with the disease?
Deep replicating crypt stem cells
