This product is used for rapid screening of pet cat ocular and nasal secretion samples for the presence of feline herpesvirus and feline cuprovirus antigens, and can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of feline herpesvirus and feline cuprovirus infections. Upper respiratory tract infections in cats are common in cats, and feline herpesvirus and feline cupripovirus are the two main causes of feline upper respiratory tract infections (URIs). Dual infections with these viruses are not uncommon. Feline herpesvirus type 1 belongs to the family Herpesviridae, subfamily of herpesviruses in the genus Varicella. It can cause viral rhinotracheitis in young cats. Early clinical signs include depression, sneezing and coughing, followed by photophobia, conjunctivitis, a rapid rise in body temperature, paroxysmal sneezing, deep tracheal coughing, and ulcers on the tongue and upper jaws are often seen; if there is a bacterial secondary infection, the ocular and nasal secretions take on a pus-like appearance. In chronic infections, chronic sinusitis, ulcerative keratitis, and total ophthalmia may develop. Infection in young kittens may result in severe conjunctivitis, and ulcerative keratitis may eventually lead to total ophthalmitis and blindness. Acute infection, with symptoms lasting 10 to 14 days, has a low mortality rate in adult cats, whereas it can be as high as 20 to 30 per cent in kittens. When the infection is confined to the upper respiratory tract, it is often referred to as viral rhinotracheitis ( FVR ). When the virus is more virulent, pneumonia can occur, with respiratory distress and dry or wet rales in the lungs,
