AI Article Synopsis
- Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) was detected in a nephropathic cat's urine in Italy using RT-PCR.
- Researchers sequenced the entire genome of strain Piuma/2015 through advanced sequencing techniques from RNA extracted from the urine sample.
- The discovery of different FeMV strains in Germany and Turkey indicates that FeMV is diverse in Europe, similar to findings in Japan and China.
Article Abstract
Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) has been recently identified by RT-PCR in the urine sample of a nephropathic cat in Italy. In this report, we describe the whole genome sequence of strain Piuma/2015 obtained by combination of sequence independent single primer amplification method (SISPA) and next generation sequencing (NGS) starting from RNA purified from the infected urine sample. The existence in Germany and Turkey of FeMVs from cats divergent from Piuma/2015, suggests the presence of FeMV heterogeneity in Europe as it has been described previously in Japan and China.
