Lack of antibodies to coronaviruses in a captive cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) population.
Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) (n = 40) were tested by means of an immunofluorescent test (IFT) for the presence of antibodies to the feline coronavirus group. All cheetahs tested negatively and this was further confirmed by virus serum neutralisation.
