Construction of Reverse Genetics System for Feline Calicivirus FCV‐BJ616 and Proteomic Analysis
This study successfully isolated the FCV‐BJ616 strain derived from cats and established a reverse genetics system. In vivo experiments showed that rFCV‐BJ616 exhibits wild‐type virulence, leading to high fever, weight loss, and multi‐organ lesions in infected cats. Proteomic analysis indicated that both rFCV‐BJ616 and FCV‐BJ616 share similar regulatory

Genetic Characteristics and Research Progress of Feline Coronavirus
Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is classified into two biotypes: feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and feline enteric coronavirus (FECV). FIPV and FECV might evolve and mutate via genetic recombination and mutation, leading to novel subtypes and ...

Presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a prostatic abscess in an adult, male, neutered cat
Abstract A 6‐year‐old, male, neutered Maine Coon cat presented with a 1‐week history of hyporexia, stranguria, pollakiuria and dysuria. Investigations, including abdominal ultrasound, positive contrast retrograde urethrocystogram and cytology of the prostate, were most consistent with a prostatic abscess.

The ORF1ab of Feline Coronavirus Plays a Critical Role in Regulating the Innate Immune Response
Feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) are divided into two groups: feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and feline enteric coronavirus (FECV). FIPV is responsible for the severe disease known as feline infectious peritonitis, while FECV typically causes ...

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