ABSTRACT
In order to conduct this study, 15 cats were selected and allocated in three groups of five cats each. Animals were inoculated oronasally with 4 ml of Blue Eye Paramyxo-virus. On days 0, 14 and 21 postinoculation, sera was collected to detect antibodies against Blue Eye. Sera was examined by the Haemoagglutination Inhibition (HI) and Seroneutralization (SN) tests. Nasal and ocular swabs were taken on the 4th day postinoculation to detect the virus. On the 21st day postinoculation, cats were slaughtered. Brains, tonsils and lungs were taken for histologic examination and for direct immunofluorescence (IF) test for Blue Eye. The first group was negative to HI. The second and third groups showed titrers between 1:6 and 1:192, respectively. SN was negative in the first sera, and in the second and third ones it showed titrers between 1:4 and 1:64. IF and histopathological findings were negative.REFERENCES
