Serum samples from 14 lions (Panthera leo) from Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, were collected during 1998 and 1999 to determine infectious disease exposure in this threatened population. Sera were analyzed for antibodies against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline calicivirus (FCV), feline herpesvirus 1 (feline rhinotracheitis: FHV1), feline/canine parvovirus (FPV/CPV), feline infectious peritonitis virus (feline coronavirus: FIPV), and canine distemper virus (CDV) or for the presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antigens. Ten lions (71%) had antibodies against FIV, 11 (79%) had antibodies against CDV, 11 (79%) had antibodies against FCV, nine (64%) had antibodies against FHV1, and five (36%) had antibodies against FPV. Two of the 11 CDV-seropositive lions were subadults, indicating recent exposure of this population to CDV or a CDV-like virus. No lions had evidence of exposure to FeLV or FIPV. These results indicate that this endangered population has extensive exposure to common feline and canine viruses.
1998年至1999年期间，从乌干达伊丽莎白女王国家公园采集了14只狮子（Panthera leo）的血清样本，以确定这个濒危种群的传染病暴露情况。对血清进行了分析，检测其中针对猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）、猫杯状病毒（FCV）、猫疱疹病毒1型（猫鼻气管炎：FHV1）、猫/犬细小病毒（FPV/CPV）、猫传染性腹膜炎病毒（猫冠状病毒：FIPV）和犬瘟热病毒（CDV）的抗体，或检测猫白血病病毒（FeLV）抗原的存在情况。10只狮子（71%）有针对FIV的抗体，11只（79%）有针对CDV的抗体，11只（79%）有针对FCV的抗体，9只（64%）有针对FHV1的抗体，5只（36%）有针对FPV的抗体。11只CDV血清阳性的狮子中有2只是亚成年狮子，表明该种群近期接触过CDV或类似CDV的病毒。没有狮子有接触FeLV或FIPV的证据。这些结果表明，这个濒危种群广泛接触常见的猫科和犬科病毒。
