FIGURE 1 Brain lesions in the cub. Young lion mainly developed
brain tissue changes, such as hydrocephalus, a 5cm cavity in the center
of the brain
FIGURE 2 FPV-related diseased tissue, lion (original
magnification x400) (A) The brain showed typical encephalitis with glial
cell proliferation, neuronal atrophy and necrosis, and encephalomalacia.
(B) The cerebellum showed nerve cell necrosis and capillary congestion.
(C) The spinal cord showed vesicular degeneration. (D) Limb nerves
showed partial necrosis
FIGURE 3 Virus isolation and cytopathic effects of the FPV
HN-ZZ2 strain in CRFK cells (original magnification x200). The
FPV-positive samples were treated and inoculated into CRFK cells. The
cytopathogenic effects induced by the FPV HN-ZZ2 strain observed in CRFK
cells 24, 48, 60hours after inoculation were observed by light microsopy
FIGURE 4 Identification in infected cells of FPV HN-ZZ2 through
IFA. (A) Cells infected with FPV are shown. Green fluorescence
represents the FPV antigen within infected cells. (B) Negative control
FIGURE 5 Transmission electron microscopy technique of FPV
HN-ZZ2. The diameter of the virion was approximately 20-25 nm which was
observed under the electron microscope and revealed no envelope,
spherical shape, and the icosahedral structure, and these were
consistent with the structural characteristics of Feline FPV
FIGURE 6 The phylogenetic tree constructed from the full
sequences of the HNZZ2 strain and the reference sequences. The branch
lengths are drawn to scale (number of substitutions per site). The trees
were rgenerated by the neighbor-joining method with bootstrap tests of
1000 replicates using the MEGA 7 software. The bootstrap support is
indicated above the respective branches with an asterisk. The FPV HN-ZZ2
strain described in the current study is indicated. The GenBank
accession numbers of the sequences under study are provided in Table 2
FIGURE 7 The results of a
recombination breakpoint analysis performed using the RDP4 and Simplot
program. (A and B) Recombination detection by the RDP4 program shows
that FPV HN-ZZ2 is generated from recombination between
CPV-L/Cania/China and canine Raccoon/RC9/BC2010/Procyon lotor/Canada.
Nucleotide position 2,841 is identified as an ending breakpoint. A
predicted recombination region is found around positions 1,956 and 2,841
of the alignment. (C) The Simplot program identifies nucleotide position
2,580 as a putative breakpoint for recombination
FIGURE 8Phylogenetic trees were inferred for the nucleotides of the NS1(A) and
VP2(B)genes. The trees were generated by the neighbor-joining method
with bootstrap tests of 1000 replicates using the MEGA 7 software. The
FPV HN-ZZ2 strain isolated in the current study is indicated
