Molecular prevalence of feline morbillivirus in shelter cats

Feline morbillivirus (FmoPV) is an enveloped virus with non-segmented negative strands RNA genomes belongs to the genus of Morbillivirus under the family of Paramyxoviridae. Previously, there were no known morbillivirus infecton in domestic cats. However, a study was done in Hong Kong, in which...
