Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a disease of domestic cats caused by the genetic variant of the feline coronavirus (FCoV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), currently grouped into two serotypes, I and II.

Colony Stimulating Factors in Early Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus Infection of Monocytes and in End Stage Feline Infectious Peritonitis; A Combined In Vivo And In Vitro Approach. [PDF]
Feline coronavirus (FCoV) infection initiates monocyte-associated viremia and viral persistence. Virus-infected, -activated monocytes also trigger feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a fatal systemic disease of felids typified by granulomatous (peri)phlebitis. Currently, the exact mechanisms inducing monocyte activation and FIP are unknown. This study

Antigenic and biological diversity of feline coronaviruses: feline infectious peritonitis and feline enteritis virus [PDF]
Antigenically related feline coronaviruses cause two distinct disease manifestations in infected cats. The diseases are feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), in which the virus is widely disseminated, and feline enteric coronavirus (FECV), a mild disease in which the virus is usually limited to the villi.

Emerging Viruses in the Felidae: Shifting Paradigms
The domestic cat is afflicted with multiple viruses that serve as powerful models for human disease including cancers, SARS and HIV/AIDS. Cat viruses that cause these diseases have been studied for decades revealing detailed insight concerning ...

Feline Lectin Activity Is Critical for the Cellular Entry of Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACTFeline infectious peritonitis is a lethal disease of felids caused by systemic infection with a feline coronavirus. Here, we report identification and analysis of the feline homologue to the human lectin DC-SIGN and show that it is a coreceptor for virulent strains of serotype 1 and serotype 2 feline coronaviruses.

The emerging landscape of feline coronavirus type II in Asia: A review of molecular diversity and diagnostic challenges [PDF]
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal systemic disease of cats caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV). FCoV is classified into two biotypes: feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV).

Mutation in Spike Protein Cleavage Site and Pathogenesis of Feline Coronavirus
Feline coronaviruses (FCoV) exist as 2 biotypes: feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV). FECV causes subclinical infections; FIPV causes feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a systemic and fatal disease.

Enteritis due to Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus
臨床・病理・血清学的にネコ伝染性腹膜炎(FIP)と診断され死亡したネコ4例および仔ネコの実験接種例14例について, 腸病変とウイルス抗原あるいはウイルス粒子の所在を検索した. 自然例2例および実験例12例が下痢を発した. 多くの病例の小腸・大腸粘膜は水腫性に肥厚し, 腸内容は水様~粘液状であった. 自然例3例および実験例12例の小腸・大腸病変は粘膜上皮の変性・剥離・増生を特徴とする比較的表在性の変化で, 固有層には浮腫, 少数の好中球お上び単核細胞浸潤がみられ, 隣接上皮細胞相互の癒合もしばしばみとめられた. しかし, 他の自然例1例および実験死亡例2例では, 小腸・大腸ともに炎症病変は激しく粘膜深部に及んでいた.

Feline Coronavirus infections and feline infectious peritonitis
Cats are susceptible to infection with several different strains of feline Coronavirus. Depending on the involved strain, clinical signs may range from asymptomatic infection to gastrointestinal disease or fibrinous serositis and disseminated vasculitis,
