Pathogenicity of feline reovirus serotype 2 isolates, Nos. 114 and 140 strains recovered from the feces of cats with diarrhea, was experimentally determined. Kittens orally inoculated with No. 114 strain did not show any clinical signs. Fecal consistency of kittens inoculated with No. 140 strain became rather diarrheic on the 3rd and 4th days after inoculation, but any other clinical abnormalities were not observed. Virus was excreted for the first five to six days after inoculation. Seroconversion was observed in the sera of all the inoculated kittens. Virus excretion and seroconversion were also noted in all contact control kittens. These results may indicate that feline reovirus serotype 2 is mildly pathogenic in cats.
对从腹泻猫粪便中分离出的2型猫呼肠孤病毒毒株（114号和140号菌株）的致病性进行了实验测定。口服接种114号菌株的小猫未表现出任何临床症状。接种140号菌株的小猫在接种后第3天和第4天粪便变得相当稀溏，但未观察到任何其他临床异常。接种后前五六天病毒排出。所有接种小猫的血清中均观察到血清转化。在所有接触对照小猫中也注意到病毒排出和血清转化。这些结果可能表明2型猫呼肠孤病毒对猫具有轻度致病性。
