Chlamydophila felis (C. felis), feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV) were detected in 39 (59.1%), 11 (16.7%) and 14 (21.2%) cats respectively, from 66 domestic cats presented with conjunctivitis and upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in 9 prefectures of Japan. Dual and multiple infections were found in 7 (10.6%) cats with both C. felis and FHV-1, 10 (15.2%) cats with both C. felis and FCV, and 1 (1.5%) cat with all three agents. C. felis was isolated from 11 (28.2%) of 39 PCR positive cats. Antigenic difference was found in a 96 kDa protein of our isolates and Fe/145 strain isolated in USA. In conclusion, C. felis is the most common agent of feline conjunctivitis and URTD, and the coinfection with C. felis, FHV-1 and FCV are also common in cats in Japan.
在日本9个县的66只出现结膜炎和上呼吸道疾病（URTD）的家猫中，分别检测到猫衣原体（C. felis）、猫疱疹病毒1型（FHV-1）和猫杯状病毒（FCV）的感染率为39只（59.1%）、11只（16.7%）和14只（21.2%）。在7只（10.6%）猫中发现了C. felis和FHV-1的双重感染，10只（15.2%）猫中发现了C. felis和FCV的双重感染，1只（1.5%）猫中发现了三种病原体的多重感染。从39只PCR阳性猫中的11只（28.2%）分离出了C. felis。在我们分离株的一种96 kDa蛋白和在美国分离的Fe/145株中发现了抗原差异。总之，C. felis是猫结膜炎和URTD最常见的病原体，在日本猫中C. felis、FHV-1和FCV的合并感染也很常见。
