Feline coronaviruses associated with feline infectious peritonitis have modifications to spike protein activation sites at two discrete positions [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is associated with mutations in the feline coronavirus (FCoV) genome that are thought to convert the subclinical feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) into the lethal feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV). A key feature of FIPV, not shared with FECV, is the productive infection of macrophages. Therefore mutations in

Antiviral effect of mefloquine on feline calicivirus in vitro

Veterinary Microbiology, 2015
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is an important viral pathogen of domestic cats causing clinical signs ranging from mild to severe oral ulceration or upper respiratory tract disease through to a severe fatal systemic disease. Current therapeutic options are limited, with no direct acting antivirals available for treatment.

Chlorine Sensitivity of Feline Calicivirus, a Norovirus Surrogate [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACT The sensitivity to free chlorine of feline calicivirus (FCV), a norovirus surrogate, was examined relative to chlorine demand. When a crude suspension of FCV was treated with a sodium hypochlorite solution containing 10 μg/ml free chlorine, the extent of the decrease of viral infectivity clearly depended on the volume of the reaction

Identification and Pathogenicity Analysis of Feline Calicivirus in Shanghai and Guangdong, China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Feline calicivirus (FCV; Caliciviridae) is a highly contagious RNA virus that causes upper respiratory tract infections and intestinal symptoms in cats. In 2023 and 2024, in Shanghai (SH), China, we collected oral swab samples from 189 domestic cats exhibiting symptoms of upper respiratory tract disease (URTD), to test for five designated respiratory ...

Survival of Calicivirus in Foods and on Surfaces: Experiments with Feline Calicivirus as a Surrogate for Norovirus

Journal of Food Protection, 2007
Although there is a large body of evidence incriminating foods as vehicles in the transmission of norovirus, little is known about virus survival in foods and on surfaces. Feline calicivirus was used as a surrogate for norovirus to investigate its survival in representative foods of plant and animal origin and on metal surfaces. Known concentrations of

The Double Quantum Dot Feline Cousin of Schroedinger's Cat: An Experimental Testbed for a Discourse of Quantum Measurement Dichotomies [PDF]

arXiv, 1999
Intriguing dichotomies in quantum measurement theory involving the role of the obersever, objective reality, collapse of wavefunctions and actualization of a measurement outcome are cast into a patholigical gedanken experiment involving a single electron in a double quantum dot system coupled via a weak link.
