Cover Story: Feline parvovirus (FPV) causes severe illness in cats. Recently, FPV infections causing similar symptoms and death have been reported in endangered giant pandas. To understand transmission, we studied a panda-derived FPV strain and its interaction with panda host factors. FPV uses the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) protein to enter and multiply in cells. Testing in normally resistant human cells confirmed the panda TfR1 allows efficient virus attachment, entry, and replication. These findings explain panda vulnerability to FPV and provide crucial insights for developing vaccines or treatments. The research advances our understanding of cross-species virus transmission and supports panda conservation efforts against outbreaks. View this paper
