Chronic clinical signs of upper respiratory tract disease associate with gut and respiratory microbiomes in a cohort of domestic felines

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The authors reasoned that cats with long-term FURTD signs may develop a chronicity in clinical course due to unique interactions between primary FURTD pathogen and persistent changes within the respiratory microbiome. Widely reported detection ranges (9-89%) for Feline Herpes Virus 1 (FeHV-1) in cats with clinical signs consistent with FURTD, as well as identification of FeHV-1 in cats suspected to be clinically normal (3-49%), begs the question on why some cats with primary etiological agents do not chronically present with clinical signs while others do. The authors hypothesized that . . .
