Description
Emma Thilen and co-authors look for the cause of staggering disease in Swedish cats in two thousand twenty-four. The disease harms the brain and has been seen in Sweden since the start of the nineteen seventies. A virus called rustrela was lately tied to cases from two thousand seventeen onward, but older cases were unchecked.
The team tested stored brain and spine tissue from fourteen cats with signs of the disease, plus five control cats. They used stain tests and gene tests to search for signs of the virus. They also checked tissue outside the nerves in known cases. The aim was to learn how far back the virus link goes and how it may spread.
