Cat flu is the common name for a feline upper respiratory tract disease. While feline upper respiratory disease can be caused by several different pathogens, there are few symptoms that they have in common.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cat flu - help control & understand disease as practical guide preventing outbreaks )〕 While Avian Flu can also infect cats, Cat flu is generally a misnomer, since it usually does not refer to an infection by an influenza virus. Instead, it is a syndrome, a term referring to the fact that patients display a number of symptoms that can be caused by one or more of the following infectious agents (pathogens): # Feline herpes virus causing feline viral rhinotracheitis (cat common cold, this is the disease that is closely similar to cat flu) # Feline calicivirus—(cat respiratory disease) # ''Bordetella bronchiseptica''—(cat kennel cough) # ''Chlamydophila felis''—(chlamydia) In South Africa the term cat flu is also used to refer to Canine Parvo Virus. This is misleading, as transmission of the Canine Parvo Virus rarely involves cats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parvovirus (cat flu) in dogs )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vet Express - Canine Parvovirus (Cat Flu) )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cat flu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
