Abstract

Feline bocavirus (FBoV) is considered an emerging pathogen recently identified in domestic cats worldwide. To date, three species of FBoVs (FBoV-1, FBoV-2, and FBoV-3) have been reported, but there are no reports identifying FBoVs in Korea. In this study, we detected novel FBoVs for the first time in Korea in captive wild felids (four European lynx and a lion) kept at Seoul Zoo. In FBoV-positive fecal samples, not only singular infections but also dual or triple infections with three different species of FBoVs were confirmed, suggesting that three species of FBoVs are already introduced and co-circulated in susceptible host animals in Korea. These results will help expand our understanding of the geographical distribution and host susceptibility of novel FBoVs. Further studies are necessary to determine the infection status of FBoVs in domestic cats and the genetic characteristics of the viruses circulating in Korea.
