Stopping Feline Coronavirus Shedding Prevented Feline Infectious Peritonitis

Viruses, 2023
After an incubation period of weeks to months, up to 14% of cats infected with feline coronavirus (FCoV) develop feline infectious peritonitis (FIP): a potentially lethal pyogranulomatous perivasculitis.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)–the present state of knowledge

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 1986
ABSTRACTThis paper gives a summary of our present knowledge of the aetiology, clinics, diagnosis, pathology and pathogenesis of feline infectious peritonitis. Special emphasis is given to the participation of the immune system in the development of the condition.

Intrahost Diversity of Feline Coronavirus: A Consensus between the Circulating Virulent/Avirulent Strains and the Internal Mutation Hypotheses?

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
To evaluate the most controversial issue concerning current feline coronavirus (FCoV) virology, the coexisting hypotheses of the intrahost and interhost origins of feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) in regard to the pathogenesis of feline ...

STUDI KASUS: Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) TIPE EFUSIF PADA KUCING TINA

VITEK : Bidang Kedokteran Hewan, 2023
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral infection with a high mortality rate in cats. This disease is caused by a coronavirus (FCoV). FIP has two types namely wet type (effusive) and dry type (non effusive). Clinical symptoms in this case include anorexia, lethargy, jaundice, fever, and significant weight loss.

B-cell activation in cats with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) by FIP-virus-induced B-cell differentiation/survival factors [PDF]

Archives of Virology, 2008
It has been suggested that antibody overproduction plays a role in the pathogenesis of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). However, only a few studies on the B-cell activation mechanism after FIP virus (FIPV) infection have been reported. The present study shows that: (1) the ratio of peripheral blood sIg(+) CD21(-) B-cells was higher in cats with FIP

Laboratory Profiles in Cats with Different Pathological and Immunohistochemical Findings Due to Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) [PDF]

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, 2001
Blood was collected from 55 cats with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and from 50 control cats in order to define whether differences in pathological findings and in distribution of feline coronaviruses (FCoV) can be associated with changes in haemograms, serum protein electrophoresis, and antibody titres.

Diagnosis of Feline Infectious Peritonitis: A Review of the Current Literature

Viruses, 2019
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease that poses several challenges for veterinarians: clinical signs and laboratory changes are non-specific, and there are two pathotypes of the etiologic agent feline coronavirus (FCoV), sometimes ...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Alphacoronaviruses Based on 3c and M Gene Sequences Isolated from Cats with FIP in Romania

Microorganisms
Coronaviruses are widespread in mammals and birds, causing mostly digestive and respiratory problems. In cats, feline coronaviruses undergo mutations while replicating, giving rise to the fatal coronavirus causing the feline infectious peritonitis (FIP ...

Sensitivity and specificity of a real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction detecting feline coronavirus mutations in effusion and serum/plasma of cats to diagnose feline infectious peritonitis

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background Feline coronavirus (FCoV) exists as two pathotypes, and FCoV spike gene mutations are considered responsible for the pathotypic switch in feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) pathogenesis.
