“…Also, infection is not limited by age or sex. There is no special breed preference reported in cats Songserm et al, 2006a;Sponseller et al, 2010;Song et al, 2011). Generally, it is considered that interspecies transmission of a whole unmodified (no reassortment) IAV to dog or cat does not result into a sustained intraspecies transmission (Crawford et al, 2005).…”

“…The detection involved virus isolation, serosurveillance and genomic studies (Crawford et al, 2005;Kuiken et al, 2006;Songserm et al, 2006b;Yingst et al, 2006;Klopfleisch et al, 2007;Daly et al, 2008;Song et al, 2008;Sponseller et al, 2010;Song et al, 2011;Zhan et al, 2012).

“…7,15,16 Infection with influenza virus in domestic felids is a zoonotic concern given their close relationship with humans; domestic cats have also recently been shown to develop severe disease from 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus. 10,17,19 Cats naturally infected with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus had severe clinical disease in some cases, with severe pneumonia resulting in dyspnea; however, experimentally infected cats had only mild to minimal signs of disease (lethargy, anorexia) despite significant pulmonary lesions.…”

Domestic Cats Are Susceptible to Infection With Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses From Shorebirds

et al. 2012

Domestic cats are susceptible to infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1, resulting in pneumonia and in some cases, systemic spread with lesions in multiple organ systems. Recent transmission of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus from humans to cats also resulted in severe pneumonia in cats. Data regarding the susceptibility of cats to other influenza viruses is minimal, especially regarding susceptibility to low pathogenic avian influenza viruses from wild birds, the reservoir host. In this study, the authors infected 5-month-old cats using 2 different North American shorebird avian influenza viruses (H1N9 and H6N4 subtypes), 3 cats per virus, with the goal of expanding the understanding of avian influenza virus infections in this species. These viruses replicated in inoculated cats based on virus isolation from the pharynx in 2 cats, virus isolation from the lung of 1 cat, and antigen presence in the lung via immunohistochemistry in 2 cats. There was also seroconversion and lesions of patchy bronchointerstitial pneumonia in all of the cats. Infection in the cats did not result in clinical disease and led to variable pharyngeal viral shedding with only 1 of the viruses; virus was localized in the alveolar epithelium via immunohistochemistry. These findings demonstrate the capacity of wild bird influenza viruses to infect cats, and further investigation is warranted into the pathogenesis of these viruses in cats from both a veterinary medical and public health perspective.

Natural Cases of 2009 Pandemic H1N1 Influenza A Virus in Pet Ferrets

Abstract. Respiratory swab samples were collected from 5 pet ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) exhibiting influenza-like illness. The ferrets represented 3 households in 2 states. In each case, the owners reported influenza-like illness in themselves or family members prior to the onset of a similar illness in the ferrets. Realtime reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays designed for the detection of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza A virus were conducted in the state animal health laboratories. The assays included detection of the matrix gene of Influenza A virus and neuraminidase gene specific for 2009 H1N1 virus. Samples were positive for both screening assays. The samples were confirmed positive by the National Veterinary Services Laboratories. The history of illness in family members prior to illness in the ferrets suggests that Influenza A virus was transmitted from humans to the ferrets.
