Feline panleukopenia (FPV), caused by the highly contagious feline parvovirus, poses a significant threat to domestic cats. This study aimed to investigate the clinical presentation, epidemiological features, and management practices of feline panleukopenia in domestic cats in Meherpur Sadar Upazila, Meherpur. A total of 133 clinically affected cats were examined from December 2023 to May 2024, with FPV accounting for 52.6% (n=70) of all cases, followed by respiratory infections (13.5%), parasitic infestations (12.8%), gastrointestinal issues (8.3%), and skin disorders (7.5%).Monthly analysis revealed the highest prevalence in February (28.57%). Persian cats (60%) were more commonly affected than Golden cats (40%), while kittens (≤4 months) exhibited the highest prevalence (42.86%). Female cats were more frequently affected (67.14%) than males (32.86%). Most cases (72.86%) occurred in households with no previous FPV cases. Cats with regular contact with others (77.14%) had a higher prevalence, highlighting the role of exposure. Non-vaccinated cats showed a significantly higher prevalence (85.71%) than vaccinated ones (14.29%), emphasizing the importance of vaccination. Vomiting was the most common clinical sign (94.29%), while diarrhea was less frequent (17.14%). Veterinarians managed 58.57% of cases, followed by quacks (34.29%) and owners (7.14%). Ceftriaxone was the most prescribed antibiotic (84.29%).This study highlights the high prevalence of feline panleukopenia in Meherpur, underscoring the critical role of vaccination and improved management in controlling the disease.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected health, education, and economic systems worldwide, creating an intricate web of challenges and opportunities for transformation. In the realm of health, the virus overwhelmed healthcare systems, strained public health resources, and exacerbated existing disparities in access to care, particularly in low-income regions. The pandemic’s psychological toll has been equally significant, leading to a global mental health crisis characterized by increased anxiety, depression, and stress. Education systems were disrupted at an unprecedented scale, with the abrupt shift to online learning exposing digital inequities and affecting academic progress, particularly in underprivileged communities. On the economic front, widespread lockdowns and disruptions to global supply chains led to significant economic contractions, loss of livelihoods, and deepening poverty for millions. However, the crisis also accelerated the adoption of digital tools, remote work models, and innovations in healthcare delivery, offering new pathways for resilience and sustainability. This paper explores the interconnected impacts of COVID-19 on health, education, and the economy, emphasizing how these domains influence one another. The analysis highlights disparities across and within countries, examining the unique challenges faced by marginalized populations. Finally, it discusses strategies for recovery, emphasizing the importance of equitable resource allocation, digital inclusion, and integrated policy approaches to mitigate the long-term effects of the pandemic. By addressing these multifaceted impacts, policymakers and stakeholders can build a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future in the post-pandemic world.
