TLDR
Feline herpesvirus infections cause acute rhinitis and conjunctivitis, usually accompanied by fever, depression and anorexia, and in most cats, FHV remains latent after recovery, and they become lifelong virus carriers.Abstract:
Overview
Feline viral rhinotracheitis, caused by feline herpesvirus (FHV), is an upper respiratory tract disease that is often associated with feline calicivirus and bacteria. In most cats, FHV remains latent after recovery, and they become lifelong virus carriers. Stress or corticosteroid treatment may lead to virus reactivation and shedding in oronasal and conjunctival secretions.read more

Epidemiologic evaluation of multiple respiratory pathogens in cats in animal shelters
TL;DR: Shelters differed in the prevalence of pathogens and many cats appeared positive for infection after about 1 week of sheltering, and results document the utility of comprehensive URI surveillance and herd management for specific pathogens typical in that shelter.

TL;DR: Although 82% of cats in these studies were shown to be viral carriers, only 45% of Cats shed virus spontaneously or as a result of the natural stress situations and it is postulted that these naturally excreting cats are of most significance epidemiologically.

TL;DR: An isolated epizootic of a highly fatal feline calicivirus (FCV) infection, manifested in its severest form by a systemic hemorrhagic-like fever, occurred over a 1-month period among six cats owned by two different employees and a client of a private veterinary practice.
