2026-07-28 Zoonotic Surveillance Serological Evidence Neutralizing antibodies to H5N1 were detected in 3 of 12 domestic cats sampled within 2 km of dairy farms in California, USA. 42520787
2026-07-28 Zoonotic Surveillance Reservoir Ecology Among domestic cats in California, proximity to dairy farms was a significant ecological risk factor associated with H5N1 seropositivity. 42520787
2026-07-07 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Universal RT-qPCR detected FCoV/CCoV RNA in 92 of 700 clinical samples from cats and dogs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with 79/501 cat samples and 13/199 dog samples testing positive. 42514671
2026-07-03 Zoonotic Surveillance Serological Evidence In the same cat population, 3.1% were seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies confirmed by neutralization. 42427631
2026-07-03 Zoonotic Surveillance Reservoir Ecology Owned and feral cats in the Philadelphia area show minimal evidence of routine exposure to clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 but more common exposure to SARS-CoV-2. 42427631
2026-07-03 Zoonotic Surveillance Serological Evidence Among owned and feral cats in the greater Philadelphia area, 0.16% were seropositive for H5 antibodies confirmed by neutralization. 42427631
2026-06-26 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution The Procyon cancrivorus CPPV-1 genome clustered within the FPV-like clade and was closely related to FPV variants from domestic cats in Argentina. 42361597
2026-06-26 Transmission Evidence Cross-species Transmission An FPV-like CPPV-1 detected in Procyon cancrivorus in Argentina was closely related to domestic cat FPV variants, suggesting domestic-to-wild spillover. 42361597
2026-06-04 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) was detected in 63 clinical specimens from dogs and cats collected across the Republic of Korea between 2023 and 2024. 42241469
2026-06-04 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic analysis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) from companion animals in the Republic of Korea showed that most viruses clustered within genotype B, including 10 viruses of the highly virulent B2 subtype. 42241469
2026-06 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection High viral loads of SFTS virus (SFTSV) were detected in samples from a deceased cat. 42183047
2026-06 Transmission Evidence Outbreak Investigation A household outbreak investigation documented multi-directional transmission of SFTS virus (SFTSV) between a symptomatic dog, two human owners, and a cohabiting cat, confirming a common viral source by genomic identity. 42183047
2026-06 Transmission Evidence Cross-species Transmission Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) was transmitted from an infected dog to a cohabiting cat within the same household. 42183047
2026-05 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Ten domestic cats from affected premises tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 subtype. 41703951
