Herpesviruses are a class of double-stranded DNA viruses found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. They are usually highly host-specific and do not easily spread across species. Chinchillas have gradually entered the Chinese pet market in recent years, but references to viral infections in chinchillas are extremely scarce, and only two reports about the herpesvirus in chinchillas are available at present. The aim of this study was to present the first report of FHV-1 infection in chinchillas. A total of 130 nasopharyngeal swab samples of chinchillas and three nasopharyngeal swabs of domestic cats collected from a chinchillas farm were investigated by nested PCR for FHV-1. Four chinchillas were infected with FHV-1, the positive rate was 3.08% (4/130), and two domestic cats were FHV-1 positive (2/3). The 253 bp fragments of FHV-1 gD gene from four chinchillas and two domestic cats were 100% identical, respectively, and the homology between chinchillas and domestic cat was 99.21%, but they all shared nearly 98.81% homology with the reference strain sequences. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that these four chinchillas strains were clustered together with FHV-1. This is the first time that FHV-1 was detected in chinchillas and suggested chinchillas are susceptible to FHV-1 and may play a role as a temporary reservoir for FHV-1.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
