What Does FPLV Stand For?

FPLV stands for Feline Panleukopenia Virus

FPLV, or Feline Panleukopenia Virus, is a highly contagious viral pathogen that primarily affects cats, leading to a severe and often fatal disease known as feline panleukopenia. The virus targets rapidly dividing cells, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissues, resulting in symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and immunosuppression. Vaccination is the most effective means of prevention, and prompt veterinary care is crucial for affected animals.
