Livestock development official Krissana Komonchan said the remaining cats at Wat Khao Kaew in Pho Thong district, which appeared to have symptoms, were given antibiotic injections. No cure is available for feline influenza and all that can be done is to treat the symptoms. 
	Krissana said the public should not worry, as the disease is not transmissible to humans. This illness is caused by a virus that is spread via the saliva to unvaccinated cats or dogs in poor health. The spread of the virus at the temple was the result of a lack of hygiene and the crowded living conditions of the animals. 
	Krissana said he would confirm the diagnoses by sending saliva for laboratory testing. The results are expected in eight to 10 days.
