Exploring the Enteric Virome of Cats with Acute Gastroenteritis
Viruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in cats, chiefly in younger animals. Enteric specimens collected from 29 cats with acute enteritis and 33 non-diarrhoeic cats were screened in PCRs and reverse transcription (RT) PCR for a large ...

Cellular localisation of the proteins of region 3 of feline enteric coronavirus [PDF]
Feline enteric coronaviruses have three open reading frames (ORFs) in region 3 (3a, 3b, and 3c). All three ORFs were expressed with C-terminal eGFP and 3xFLAG tags in different cell lines and their localisation was determined. ORF 3a is predicted to contain DNA-binding and transcription activator domains, and it is localised in the nucleus and in the ...

A Focus On Coronaviruses Infections In Animals: Review Article
Coronaviruses are large, enveloped and single-stranded, non-segmented with positive sense RNA virus belong to Nidovirus, family Coronavirirdae and included two subfamilies Orthocoronavirinae and Letovirinae. There are four genera variable in antigenestic

CHARACTERISTICS AND OCCURRENCE OF CORONAVIRUSES IN HUMANS AND ANIMALS
Coronaviruses occurring in humans and animals are a diverse group of pathogens, characterized by high variability and tropism. The most serious animal diseases caused by coronaviruses include equine coronavirus disease (E-CoV), canine coronavirus disease

Amino acid changes in the spike protein of feline coronavirus correlate with systemic spread of virus from the intestine and not with feline infectious peritonitis [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests that a mutation in the spike protein gene of feline coronavirus (FCoV), which results in an amino acid change from methionine to leucine at position 1058, may be associated with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).

The enteric virome of cats with feline panleukopenia differs in abundance and diversity from healthy cats [PDF]
Feline panleukopenia (FPL) is a severe, often fatal disease caused by feline parvovirus (FPV). How infection with FPV might impact the composition of the entire eukaryotic enteric virome in cats has not been characterized.

Serum Sialic Acid as a Biomarker of Inflammation and Infection: Insights From Veterinary Medicine. [PDF]
Serum sialic acid (SSA) levels, including total sialic acid (TSA), lipid‐bound sialic acid (LBSA), and protein‐bound sialic acid (PBSA), have been extensively studied as biomarkers of inflammation and infection across various species and diseases. In parasitemic sheep, elevated SSA levels likely reflect host–pathogen interactions and immune activation.

Role of sialic acids in feline enteric coronavirus infections
To initiate infections, many coronaviruses use sialic acids, either as receptor determinants or as attachment factors helping the virus find its receptor underneath the heavily glycosylated mucus layer. In the present study, the role of sialic acids in serotype I feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) infections was studied in feline intestinal epithelial ...
