Epidemiology of upper respiratory infections of cats was studied. Nasal, ocular, and oral swabs collected from 111 cats presented at animal hospitals during the past 2.5 years were examined. Twenty-four (21.6%) and 4 (3.6%) cats were diagnosed as feline calicivirus (FCV) infection and feline viral rhinotracheitis, respectively, indicating FCV is more prevalent than feline herpesvirus-1, which revealed a considerable shift from data obtained in 1970s. Cat sera immunized by using vaccines containing either FCV F9 or 255 strains neutralized 42.9% and 66.7% of the FCV isolates, respectively. Chlamydia psittaci, examined by a PCR assay amplifying the ompA gene, was found in 26.9% of 26 diseased cats that typically showed conjunctivitis and rhinitis.
对猫上呼吸道感染的流行病学进行了研究。对过去2.5年期间在动物医院就诊的111只猫采集的鼻、眼和口腔拭子进行了检查。分别有24只（21.6%）和4只（3.6%）猫被诊断为猫杯状病毒（FCV）感染和猫病毒性鼻气管炎，这表明FCV比猫疱疹病毒-1更普遍，这与20世纪70年代获得的数据相比有相当大的变化。用含有FCV F9或255株的疫苗免疫的猫血清分别中和了42.9%和66.7%的FCV分离株。通过扩增ompA基因的PCR检测法对26只通常表现为结膜炎和鼻炎的患病猫进行检测，发现鹦鹉热衣原体的检出率为26.9%。
