Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. A nested reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-nPCR) for the detection of feline coronavirus (FCoV) RNA in feces, tissues, and body fluids of infected cats. RT-nPCR targets the highly conserved 3′-untranslated region of the viral genome and will detect most, if not […]

San Marco Veterinary Hospital, I-35141 Padua, Murcia, Italy, School of Veterinary Medicine, Interdisciplinary Laboratory Clinical Anal, Interlab UMU, E-30100 Murcia, Spain The purpose of this study was to elucidate the risk factors in cats naturally affected by feline infectious peritonitis (PIP) by studying two antioxidant biomarkers in serum: paraoxonase-1 (PON1) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC).

University of Georgia, Coll Vet Med, Department of Pathology, Athens, GA 30602 United States Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is one of the most important viral diseases of cats worldwide. Our study describes the neuropathological and diagnostic features of 26 cases of FIP in domestic cats. The average age of affected individuals is 11.8 months, with

Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia Feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) include virulent and avirulent biotypes. While both biotypes can enter a cat’s bloodstream, only the virulent biotype replicates in monocytes and macrophages and develops a fatal disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). ). In the present study,

European Advisory Committee on Feline Diseases (ABCD) OVERVIEW: Feline coronavirus infection is ubiquitous in domestic cats, and is particularly common where conditions are crowded. While most FCoV-infected cats are healthy or display only a mild enteritis, some go on to develop feline infectious peritonitis, a disease that is especially common in young cats and multi-cat

Veterinary Infectious Disease Laboratory, Kitasato University College of Veterinary Medicine, Towada Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause a lethal disease in cats, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of FIPV infection has been recognised in experimentally infected cats, and cellular immunity is considered to play an important role in preventing the onset
