Survey of antibody to feline calicivirus (FCV) in vagabond cats was carried out by serum neutralization test (SN). Fifty-nine cat-serum samples collected in Bangkok and Nakhon Pathom provinces were tested for antibody to FCV. Average antibody titer (log2) of cats in this survey was 8.86 (SD=2.03). The titer in less than 6 months old, 6 months to 4 years old and over 4 years old was 6.54 (SD=1.39), 8.97 (SD=1.47), 10.78 (SD=1.11) respectively. This result indicated that FCV was widespread in vagabond cats in Thailand and might be a sort of infection in domestic cats.
