Frequency of calicivirus in felines with respiratory signs in Medellin, Colombia (2020)
Abstract Feline calicivirus (FVC) is one of the main infectious pathogens causing upper respiratory tract disease in cats (URTD). It is a virus of common presentation in cats in shelter conditions or cats with access to the outside, the clinical picture is associated with respiratory symptoms, oral ulcerations, eye discharge, and lameness. To determine the frequency of feline calicivirus in animals with respiratory symptoms in Medellín, Colombia, in 2020, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, including 64 domestic cats with signs compatible with upper respiratory tract disease and oral ulcers. For determination of the frequency of presentation of FVC, the distribution was 36 females and 28 males, and the mestizo race was the most frequent with 47 specimens, which were vaccinated with conventional vaccine strain F9. Conjunctival and nasal swabs were performed for diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect feline calicivirus, of which 22 cats were positive for feline calicivirosis, representing a frequency of 34.3% of the sample evaluated. Feline calicivirus is a disease with a high frequency in domestic felines with respiratory symptoms and oral ulcers in Medellin, Colombia, including cats vaccinated with conventional vaccines containing the F9 strain, which may imply that strains that do not respond to these vaccines are circulating.

Resumen El calicivirus felino (CVF) es uno de los principales patógenos infectivos que causan la enfermedad del tracto respiratorio superior en gatos (ETRS). Es un virus de presentación común en gatos en condiciones de albergue o gatos con acceso al exterior, el cuadro clínico está asociado con sintomatología respiratoria, ulceraciones orales, secreción ocular y cojeras. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de calicivirus felino en animales con cuadro respiratorio en la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, en 2020. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal donde se incluyeron 64 gatos domésticos con sintomatología compatible con enfermedad del tracto respiratorio superior y úlceras orales para determinación de frecuencia de presentación de CVF, la distribución fue 36 hembras y 28 machos y la raza mestiza fue la más frecuente con 47 ejemplares, los cuales fueron vacunados con vacuna convencional cepa F9. Se realizaron hisopados conjuntivales y nasales para diagnóstico por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (RCP) para detección de calicivirus felino, de los cuales 22 gatos resultaron positivos a calicivirosis felina, con una frecuencia del 34,3% de la muestra evaluada. El calicivirus felino es una enfermedad de alta frecuencia de presentación en los felinos domésticos con sintomatología respiratoria y con úlceras orales en Medellín, Colombia, inclusive en gatos vacunados con vacunas convencionales que contienen la cepa F9, lo que puede implicar que están circulando cepas que no responden a estas vacunas.
