Article Synopsis
- Carnivore parvovirus is prevalent among canines and felines, causing severe illness and high mortality, and has recently been detected in wild raccoon dogs in urban areas of Shanghai.
- This study involved collecting wild raccoon dog samples in Shanghai to test for parvovirus, leading to the isolation of three distinct parvovirus strains that show high genetic similarity to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV).
- The findings mark the first instance of FPV being isolated from raccoon dogs, highlighting the potential risks for local wildlife and domestic pets, and offering essential data for wildlife management strategies in the region.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Mahuang Xixin Fuzi Decoction (MXF), as a classical prescription of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been used to treat the immunocompromised individuals infected with influenza A virus (IAV).
Aim Of The Study: The study aims to explore the regulatory of MXF on inflammation and secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) antibodies immune response in BALB/c-nude mice infected with IAV.
Materials And Methods: The BALB/c-nude mice were infected with IAV, then different dosages of MXF were orally administrated to the mice.
