  • This paper reports a presumptive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in a cat. A cat with respiratory disease living with three individuals with coronavirus disease 2019 showed bilateral ground-glass opacities in the lung on X-ray and computed tomography. The clinical swabs were negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, but the serum was positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Interstitial pneumonia and prominent type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia were noted on histopathology. Respiratory tissues were negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen, but the cat was positive for feline parvovirus DNA. In conclusion, the respiratory disease and associated pathology in this cat could have been due to exposure to SARS-CoV-2.

  • The Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University, Japan, obtained the scholarship in "Short-Stay and Short-Visit scholarship programs(SS-SV programs)" for both German and Japanese students in 2011 and 2012. Our short-term student exchange programs proved that a short-term stay in a foreign country worked as an initiator for the students' interest and it strengthen their will to study further more in foreign countries.
