<p>Feline parvovirus (FPV) is highly infectious for cats and other Felidae and often causes severe damage to young kittens.

Together, the rapid reaction, cost-effectiveness, and high sensitivity make the RPA-Cas12a-based fluorescence assay a fascinating diagnostic tool that will help minimize infection spread through instant detection of FPV.
