Abstract excerpt
Although feline caliciviruses (FCVs) (Family Caliciviridae) have been studied extensively in household and shelter cats, limited information is available on FCVs in feral cat (Felis catus) populations. We report here high FCV detection rates (27.77%, 30/108) in oral samples from feral cats on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Fourteen (46.66%) of the FCV positive cats exhibited oral lesions that were...
